The Tropical Agriculturist. The Agricultural Journal of Ceylon October 1935

1935

The correlation of this weight with the weight of copra is higher than that between weight of copra and the number of nuts (1). [...] But here too grave errors may be introduced by the progressive desiccation of the husk which loses a considerable amount of water on storage in heaps on the field; so that it would be risky to attempt to establish a definite numerical relation between the weight of unhusked nuts and the weight of copra since this relation would alter with varying degrees of dryness of the husk. [...] The third method of expressing yield is by making use of the weight of husked nut; and it is the purpose of this paper to show that this is the most satisfactory and least troublesome method of arriving at a reliable expression of yield. [...] 11 on the other hand the former material is smaller one edge of the wedge ihould he slightly narrower than the other and when inserted into the cleft The -narrower side is placed toward the centre of the stock. [...] Observations show that the nature of the protection should vary according to the time of the year at which the graft is made.
