Abstract

An experiment was conducted in the Plantation Crops Section, Department of Agronomy from July, 1967 to April, 1968 to determine the effects of seednut and fertilizer treatment on the germination and growth of coconut seedlings.

The age of seednuts used in the study was found to have no significant effect on the percentage germination. However, mature seednuts germinated earlier, gave the tallest seeedlings with largest girth and the most number of leaves.

Pre-germination treatment had no significant effect on the germination and subsequent growth of coconut seedlings. Unsoaked seednuts were as good as the best pre-germination treated seednuts in terms of percentage germination, time from soaking to emergence and seedling growth.
