Note:
- Hybrids Anandaganga, Keraganga and Kerasankara are recommended for general cultivation
both under rainfed and irrigated conditions.
- Other hybrids especially Chandrasankara
are recommended for ideal situations and where good management practices are adopted.
-
Since the performance of Chandrasankara is markedly superior to that of WCT in root
(wilt) affected areas, cultivation of Chandrasankara and Kalparaksha are preferred
in such areas.
- Chandralaksha, Lakshaganga, Chandrakalpa and Kalpadhenu are recommended
for cultivation under drought prone areas.
- Kalparaksha is recommended for tender
coconut. Kalpaprathibha is a dual purpose variety (copra and tender coconut).
-
Kalpamithra is recommended for rainfed conditions.
