The Deejay Sampoorna® Hybrid Coconut is the result of more than 25 years of research. It’s a general-purpose hybrid coconut seedling. It starts flowering from the 3rd year of planting and produces an average of 250 coconuts per year per tree (some farmers report far higher numbers) from the sixth year of planting under reasonably good management conditions, including DCG(Deejay Cultivation guidance) and Fertigation. When tender nuts are harvested at 6.5 to 7 months of age, yields can increase by 30%, and yields exceeding 400 nuts per palm are commonly reported to us. The yield increase is also due to a dramatic reduction of load on the tree of producing kernel and oil, resulting in more nuts per bunch being set. The Deejay Sampoorna® is the mainstay for the farmer throughout our markets. Nicking and synergistic combining of the genes of both parents result in a symbiosis of superior performance over both mother and father palms. Constant research and selection along with the CIP (Continuous Improvement Program) in each farm have helped the yields steadily creep upwards, year on year.
