Fruit picker for harvesting Coconuts without causing damage. Where pastures are established under palms at closer spacing and higher densities then light transmission values will be lower. Now, let us get into the process of high density coconut plantation. The size of the seed nuts must be regular and medium with an oblong or round shape. The advantage of the tall variety is that the productivity of the tree lasts within 80120years and still produces good-quality copra, oil, and other products. weight, while the husk contributes 35 per cent.
