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.
