Some results on field experimentation with Typica X Nana F, hybrids (2) copra and oil content

Abstract

Data are presented on weight of copra (dried endosperm) and oil content of typica x nana hybrids where all three colour farms of the variety nana viz, pumila, eburnea, and regia have been used ax male presents. The observed difference in weight of copra or oil content in the F1 hybrids. Typica x nana form regia hybrids had the highst oil content (69.4perc.) compared with typica x nana form pumila 68.6perc. and typica x nana form eburnea 68perc. Caution has to be excercised in the choice of parental material for the production of these hybrids
