Reduction in the size of coconuts, fall of immature fruits and oozing out of brown liquid from the trunk of the tree are some serious problems in coconuts. These problems also occur in those gardens where (a) an immediate shift is made from rainfed to irrigated conditions, (b) gardens are near a lake/pond, and (c) the water table keeps fluctuating. To overcome these problems a trench, one to one and half feet deep is dug at a distance of about four feet from the tree. The trench is filled with five kg neem leaves and 25 kg green leaf manure and is covered with soil. This is watered regularly for three months. As a result dropping of tender and immature fruit stops and size of coconut increases. Application of lime on the trunk up to six feet from the base stops oozing.See Honey Bee 4(2&3): 7,1993; 8(1): 14,1997; 9(2): 15,1998; 10(1):7,1999 for practices on controlling dropping of immature fruits. Also see HB 8(4): 16, 1997 for Bhaskarbhai Save\'s practice of trenching in coconut.<\/p>\n <\/li>\n
