C.  aEffect of some land qualities and soil properties on productivity of coconut in the Philippines.h[electronic resource]  c1983  aThe coconut palm (Cocos nucifera L.) is found growing in widely diverse soils. In the Philippines, coconut grows in flatlands as well as steep uplands, in coastal areas and far inland, in well-drained and poorly drained soils, in sandy as well as clavey soils, in highly fertile as well as marginal soils and acidic as well as alkaline soils. Although coconut survives apparently adverse conditions, productivity, is greatly affected. For instance, it is generally observed that the palm grows poorly in poorly drained and in compacted soils. On the other hand, it thrives along sea coasts, in alluvial plains and in coarse to medium-textured soils.  aPhilippines  aSoil  aCocos Nucifera  aCoconut  aCoqueiro1 aFERNANDEZ, N.
