About the Product

**Areca Nut – Kasarkodan**, a popular regional variety of Areca catechu, is widely cultivated in Kerala, especially in northern districts, for its bold nuts and good yield potential. It thrives well in Kerala’s warm and humid tropical climate, growing best in temperatures between 20°C to 35°C with adequate and well-distributed rainfall. Kasarkodan variety prefers partial shade during early growth stages and performs best in deep, fertile, well-drained loamy soil rich in organic matter. Regular irrigation is necessary during dry periods, while proper drainage is essential to prevent waterlogging and root diseases. With timely fertilization, mulching, and good field management, this variety ensures steady growth and consistent production, making it suitable for both homestead cultivation and commercial plantations in Kerala conditions.
