Essential Guide to Coconut Cultivation in Sri Lanka

Essential Guide to Coconut Cultivation in Sri Lanka

Coconut is one of Sri Lanka’s major commercial crops. Successful cultivation relies on selecting suitable agro-climatic zones and adhering to recommended agronomic guidelines.

At Green Plus Agro, we emphasize proper land preparation and spacing (7.6m x 7.6m). Pits should be dug well in advance and enriched with organic compost before planting. For acidic laterite soils, applying dolomite is essential to balance soil pH.

Moisture conservation techniques such as husk burial in circular trenches around the palms significantly improve yield during dry spells, ensuring long-term crop resilience.
