We are involved in coconut farming practice for over 25 years. Stem bleed disease had affected our TJ coconut trees to a larger extent. So, we have decided to call on Parachute Kalpavriksha Foundation team for inspection. After inspection, their team suggested us remedies to overcome the disease effect. Applied those techniques and heaved a sigh of relief, in seeing the nitrogen levels in our soil, which benefited us in higher yields of coconuts per tree. I wholeheartedly thank Parachute Kalpavriksha Foundation, for its service to farmers! Keep serving the farmers’ community.

I am involved in coconut farming practice, since the year of 1974. Despite the experience I had in farming, I was in a standstill, when pests like Rhyncophorus ferrugiens and Rhinoceros Beetle attacked my trees. They have guided me with clear strategies on “how to trap these pests and arrest them.'' They have also shared water management techniques, for increase of yield per tree and saving the water in drought conditions too. I am very happy that they are visiting my farm once in a week and sharing insights about coconut farming techniques. Thank you Parachute Kalpavriksha Foundation.

I have over 300 coconut trees on my farm. My farming practice wasn’t so organised and faced many difficulties in nurturing the trees with good yields. Fortunately, from the year of 2018, Parachute Kalpavriksha Foundation representatives’ paid regular visits to my farm and educated me about wise techniques, saved my farm from pest attacks for the betterment of yield. Compared to previous yield percentage, this year I am getting substantial amount of coconuts from my farm.
