Abstract
Gangolly and Pandalai1, in their communication on vegetative propagation of the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera L.), mention only one method, namely, the induction of suckers, but state that “there was no sign of suckering seen in any of the treatments so far”. They state that they induced root formation from the stem near ground-level with certain hormones and hence conclude that “inducing meristematic activity in the coconut is possible”.
