About the Product

**Areca Nut – Sumangala**, a high-yielding hybrid variety of Areca catechu, is widely cultivated in Kerala for its early bearing, bold nuts, and excellent productivity. It thrives exceptionally well in Kerala’s warm and humid tropical climate, growing best in temperatures between 20°C to 35°C with well-distributed rainfall. Sumangala performs best in deep, fertile, well-drained loamy soil rich in organic matter and prefers partial shade during its early growth stage. Regular irrigation is essential during dry periods, while proper drainage is necessary to prevent waterlogging and root diseases. With timely fertilization, mulching, and good field management, Sumangala ensures consistent and higher yields, making it an ideal choice for both homestead cultivation and commercial arecanut plantations in Kerala conditions.
