Abstract
The Niu kafa-Niu vai Introgression (NKNVI) method was used for the comparison of the different types of coconut found in Lakshadweep Islands. The highest proportion of husk in the fruit and a high proportion of endosperm in the nut are characteristic of the Niu Kafa class, while, a tow proportion of husk and high proportion of water in the nut are characteristic of theNiu vai class. Fruit component analysis indicated that the different types of Lakshadweep coconuts belong typically to the "Niu kafa" class and the Laccadive Small is of intermediate nature, and arose perhaps due to introgressive hybridization between the Laccadive Micro and the Laccadive Ordinary types.
