Excerpt from Experiments With Fertilizers on Coconut Palms and Variation in Palm Productivity
By January, 1920, Six years after planting was done, 10 of 90 palms had blossomed and 25 had ?ower buds. Six months la 47 palms had blossomed and 3 additional palms were budded. At that time 10 palms, or all in plat N o. 9, and 9 palms in Plat No. 1 had blossomed. In each of the other fertilized plats 4 to 6 palms had blos Somed or were budded, whereas in the check plat only 2 had blossomed and none of the others showed buds. This appeared to indicate that fertilization tended to bring the palms into production slightly earlier than would have been the case with unfertilized palms. By January, 1921, all palms had blossomed but one, and it blossomed prior to. July, 1921. The average production per palm by plats is given in Table 1.
