Abstract
Coconut does best in relatively coarser textured soils like sandy loams, sandy
coastal alluviums and sandy river valleys. It is found to grow well on littoral
(coastal) sand which is generally unsuitable for many other crops provided it
is managed carefully in the early stages with organic manuring and adopting
appropriate soil moisture conservation measures. It tolerates salinity and a
wide range of pH (from 5.0-8.0). Soil with a minimum depth of 1.2 m and
fairly good water holding capacity is preferred for coconut cultivation. Proper
supply of moisture either through well distributed rainfall or irrigation and
sufficient drainage in waterlogged soil are essential for coconut.
