A critical evaluation of nutritional factors involved in coconut productivitywas carried out during 1991-1994. West Coast Tall palms aged 25to 35 years varying in yield from 6 to 163 nuts per year growing in threelocations viz. Regional Agricultural Research Station, Pilicode, AgriculturalResearch Station, Mannuthy and Coconut Research Station, Balaramapuramunder regular management constituted the experimental material. The relationshipof individual nutrient contents in respect of 10 elements were workedout. First order nutrient ratios in respect of these elements were also studied.The results showed that continuous use of conventional fertilizers have leadto a stage of negative response for them. It also indicated that deficiency ofnon recommended and non applied elements like Mg and S and excess ofCa, Fe and Mn limits coconut yield. This points to importance of balancednutrition for problem management and better productivity in coconut.
