Abstract
One of the important problems that confront the coconut grower, is the eradication of weeds in his garden. In competing with the coconut, the weeds utilise a considerable amount of plant food and soil moisture for their own growth, thereby lessening the available supply to the coconut trees, and consequently reducing their yield to an appreciable extent. Coconut is unique in that when it begins to yield, it produces nuts all through the year, unlike many other perennials and continues its productive phase almost to its entire life period of 70-80 years. Coconut plantations in general are not manured adequately and it becomes all the more essential to make the limited plant food available reach the main crop by eliminating the unwanted weeds which deprive the palm of a fair share of its requirements.
