What are the conditions for growing coconut perfume in Thailand? Thailand perfume coconut how to open

Coconut occupies an indispensable position in the life of the Thai people. Coconut milk, coconut milk, coconut oil and fiber can also be used as raw materials for clothing or other commonly used materials in daily life. The perfume coconut is a variety selected by farmers to be edible, succulent, with special aroma and soft pulp. Perfume coconuts can be harvested about 6 to 7 months after pollination.

Perfumed coconut is a dwarf variety, the highest is about 12 meters, it can reach 15 to 17 minutes during fruit ripening, there are an average of 7 to 8 fruits on each branch, the most is 15, and the average weight of a single fruit is about 2 kilograms. The special fragrance of perfume coconut mainly comes from 2-Acetyl-1-Pyrroline, which is also the source of fragrance of fragrant rice.

Reproduction

In the past, farmers would plant different varieties of coconuts together, so they could not effectively control cross-pollination. To this day, farmers hope to produce seedlings with a special aroma, but there is no guarantee that the quality of the seedlings can meet the requirements. We can only rely on experienced producers to distinguish them.

Thailand can breed perfume coconuts all year round, especially May is the best breeding period for coconuts. Most Thai producers propagate coconuts with seeds, select the more mature coconuts at the top of the plant, soak them in water for 10 to 15 days, and then move them to nurseries with a sun exposure rate of more than 60% to germinate in about 15 to 20 days. The germination rate of perfume coconut is about 65.70%. When the new buds are drawn from 3 to 10 cm, they can be transferred to the nursery of 40X40 cm. After about 3 months of transplantation, the seedlings can be moved to the orchard for planting. At this time, the seedlings have about 3 to 5 true leaves and a height of 30 cm. The unit price of seedlings on the market is about 30 baht (about US $1).

Cultivation

Perfume coconut can produce fruit 3 to 4 years after cultivation, while other higher varieties can not be harvested until 7 years. Perfume coconuts can still produce coconuts for up to 40 years, but farmers usually replace new seedlings around the 30th year. In addition, farmers will use the gap between coconuts to cultivate fruit trees such as bananas, papaya and aloe.

In the perfume coconut growing areas in central Thailand, the average annual rainfall is 1500 to 2000 mm, which needs to be irrigated weekly during the dry season from November to May. The price of coconut in the market depends on its size. Although the Thai government is actively promoting GAP certification, organic coconut is still not the mainstream in the market.

What is sold on the market is the top of the triangle, as long as you grasp the angle and cut to the top of the head. Or turn the top of the bottle opener net with the red wine cork. With a chopper. The corner of the blade near the handle, cut into the top of the coconut with some strength. On the "Tianling cover" of the coconut, we need to cut four times around the midpoint to form a quadrilateral, and then remove the quadrilateral shell in order to drink the coconut water inside.
