Abstract
Coconut palm is an important plantation and oilseed crop of the tropics. A decline in production and productivity of established coconut gardens is attributed to numerous biotic and abiotic factors. Pencil point disorder, button shedding and barren nuts are a common problem in the coconut plantations. Integrated management practices can help to overcome these constraints and revive the productivity of the coconut palms.
