Long term nursery studies on the germination of West Coast Tall seed coconuts harvested during January to May and planted in the nursery in June or July indicate the germination trend of seed cocount harvested during the different months The studies brought out the following: 1) On the West Coast, the period January to April is the best for collection of seednuts. 2) There is not much difference in the germination rate between June and July sowing. 3) January nuts are to be preferred to May nuts' for seednut purposes. 4) For studies on germination it is advisable to sow the seed-nuts of different harvests separately and record the germination date of each nut till December in June and July sowings since more than 90 per cent of the seednuts would have germinated by December.
