dc.description.abstractCoconut cultivars/hybrids comprising three tails, one dwarf and five hybrids were evaluated for dry matter (DM) production and yield. The tails excelled in the vegetative dry matter production (VDM) characteristics, whereas the hybrids were superior in the reproductive dry matter production (RDM) and nut yield. Among the hybrids, West Coast Tall (WCT) x Chowghat Orange Dwarf (COD), Laccadive Ordinary (LO) x Gangabondam (GB) and LO x COD performed better than the other two (WCT x WCT and COD x WCT). Copra out-turn was related significantly to RDM as well as total dry matter (TDM) production. Attempt was made to understand the harvest index (HI) in coconut. Traits for higher DM production also were evaluated by correlation studies which indicated the higher dependence of HI on RDM rather than on VDM. Water use efficiency (WUE) also contributed significantly to higher DM production.en_US
