Abstract
Correlation studies were conducted on nut and copra characters of nuts, harvested during different months of the year from West Coast Tall (WCT) palms grown under rainfed conditions at CPCRI Kasaragod. There was significant correlations between 1) weight of fruit (unhusked nut) and weight of husked nut 2) the weight of fruit and weight of husk 3) weight of husked nut and wet weight of kernel 4) weight of husked nut and wet weight of shell 5) weight of husked nut and weight of copra 6) wet weight of kernel and weight of copra and 7) weight of shell and weight of copra in the nuts harvested during the different months of the year irrespective of seasonal effects on these characters. Slight differences in the magnitude of the association noticed in the different months can be attributed to the effect of season prevailing during development.
