The reason why coconut is planted with salt is that salt can make them better adapt to the salt environment and improve the survival rate. Coconut mostly lives by the sea, and draws water from seawater to grow. In the process of cultivation, sprinkling salt can make artificially cultivated coconut adapt to the natural environment. Salt water is rich in trace elements, which is beneficial to plant growth.
In the process of planting coconut, fruits should be obtained from coconut trees with high yield, and then the fruits with the highest maturity and moderate size should be selected as seeds, stored in a well-ventilated, dry and shaded environment, and the seedlings will grow after 1 month, and then planted in loam near the water source.
How to transplant coconuts It is best to transplant coconuts in rainy season. Choose an open field as a transplanting place, dig out a pit with a width of 60 cm, a length of 70 cm and a depth of 80 cm, then plant coconut seedlings in the pit with a spacing of 6 meters and a row spacing of 9 meters, apply organic fertilizer after planting, and fill the gap with sand to prevent ants.
Prevention and Control of Coconut Diseases and Pests During the growth of coconuts, diarrhea is easy to occur, which leads to the cracking of stems and the outflow of dark brown mucus. It turns black after drying and gradually decays. At this time, the diseased spots should be removed and then treated with Bordeaux solution, and the coconut will be invaded by red-brown weevil larvae. Check the fields regularly and seal the wormholes with asphalt or soil.
