"The Cocoanut: With reference to its products and cultivation in the Philippines" by William S. Lyon is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century, specifically in 1903. This informative bulletin, part of the Bureau of Agriculture's Farmer's Bulletin series, addresses the cultivation practices, uses, and historical significance of the cocoanut palm in the Philippines. It serves to educate agricultural practitioners on the importance of the various products derived from the cocoanut, alongside the methods for optimal growth and management. The book comprehensively covers several aspects of cocoanut cultivation, including its botanical characteristics, historical background, and practical applications. Lyon discusses the importance of careful site selection, soil conditions, and seed quality in successful plantation management. He emphasizes the economic potential of cocoanut products such as copra, cocoanut oil, and coir, detailing their processing methods and market viability. Furthermore, Lyon addresses challenges faced in cocoanut farming, including pests and cultural practices that can influence yield, thus providing readers with a well-rounded perspective on establishing and maintaining cocoanut plantations in the Philippine context.
