Pollinate support for coconut wax in Tra Vinh
In Hoa An commune (Cau Ke, Ben Tre), engineer Ngo Thanh Trung and engineer Nguyen Van Trai specialized in research on coconut trees of Dong Go and Ben Tre Experimental Center (Ministry of Industry and Trade) are pollinating coconut trees. wax.
You use homemade equipment to spray male pollen mixed in a special solution on newly hatched female flowers. Coconut wax, a coconut with a very thick pulp, almost thickens the intestine, and fragrant plastic is quite expensive. However, little waxed coconut beans . coconut wax that usually has 90% left in the chamber turns into regular coconut.
In the past 3 years, Dong Go Experimental Center, Ben Tre has researched to increase the proportion of coconut waxes in the coconut chamber and is currently cooperating with the Department of Science and Technology of Tra Vinh to organize pollination to support coconut trees in the district Bridge
Trung engineers said: When male flowers on coconut trees have sprung outside wax is the time to take chalk.

Chalk in male flowers with light white color, take down rub to crush the tank will be black, put in closed containers exposed in the shade, maintain the temperature 37 - 40 o C, dry chalk to turn chicken fat. When drying, the chalk of the flowers is set aside, after a few days of extracting a few checks, if the chalk is weak, remove it, the chalk is strongly mixed into a special solution to spray on the female flower.
Spray early in the day, spray continuously for 6-8 days when female flowers successfully pollinate the back of the coconut wax from light yellow to brown.
This is the result of its 'pollen-assisted pollination research to increase wax ratio'.
Mr. Le Van Be - Vice Chairman of Tra Vinh Garden Association said: Coconut waxes grown in Hoa Tan, Hoa An and Cau Ke towns have a total of 7,874 trees, of which 1,087 trees were left.
Currently, 185 coconut palms in Hoa An commune have been pollinated, each depending on the number of flowers that pollinate for 2, 3 or 4 cotton. Along with supporting coconut wax to pollinate, engineers also instructed relatives to take care of coconut trees to have more flowers.
Trung engineers added, after successful pollination about 11 months, can harvest coconut wax. Cau Ke district is preparing to establish a coconut wax club to market and promote this rare coconut variety.
