Following research spanning over 16 years, the Arecanut Research Centre of Keladi Shivappa Nayaka University of Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences in Shivamogga, has come up with a recommendation on planting depth to get a greater yield.
The researchers found out that seedlings planted in pits (60 cm³) at 45 cm depth gave more fresh nuts than those planted at 60 cm depth (75 cm³) and 75 cm depth (90 cm³).
