| Popis: | Palm trees, particularly coconut, arecanut and palmyrah play an important part in Indian rural life. All three produce materials for house construction, basket-making and the like, and may be tapped for juice, a popular drink either fresh or fermented. Arecanut is in widespread demand as a masticatory; but pre-eminent as a crop is the coconut, whose multifarious uses have earned for it the title “Tree of Life“. With an average annual yield of twenty nuts per tree, but the potential to produce up to two hundred, selection and breeding offer great possibilities for improvement. |
