Abstract
Studies on germination, seedling growth and output of quality seedlings in relation to storage period of seednuts of West Coast Tall coconut harvested during January to May have indicated that the quality of seednuts at the time of harvest and weather conditions during germination and development of the seedlings rather than storage period largely account for the variation in germination, growth of the seedlings and recovery of seedlings of vigorous growth characters. Hence on the West Coast of India seednuts harvested during the summer months may be stored and planted in the nursery during the onset of the South West Monsoon in June or July to obtain maximum germination and a high percentage of recovery of quality seedlings.
