Button shedding: Shedding of buttons and premature nuts may be observed to many reasons:
 Provide regular irrigation, requested nutrition to reduce the button shedding.
 Apply extra 2 kg of K2O with 200 g of Borax/palm over and above the usual dosage of fertilizer to correct the barren nuts in coconut.
 Regularly survey for pest and diseases
 Select seedlings 9 to 12 months after planting. Seedlings, which have germinated earlier, having good girth at collar and early splitting of leaflets, should be selected for planting.
