Three main treatments were tested: control without mulch; mulch made from cocopeat (mixed with residual fibres); and a mulch of chopped coconut husks.
Nonetheless, improvement is highly variable from one plot to another, depending on the history of the coconut palms.
Traps were baited with shredded coconut and/or fish emulsion.
The cacao tree canopy developed more quickly, despite higher coconut planting densities.
Coconut yields were identical in the monoculture and intercropping treatments.
If planting is staggered only slightly, there is strong competition from coconut palms on cacao tree growth and yields in the short term.
Each plot comprised 48 coconut palms (four rows of 12), of which the 20 central palms were useful (two rows of 10).
Given the drive to intensify, extend, rehabilitate and rejuvenate these coconut plantings, introducing intercrops seems to be one solution.
