Current cocoa research in Fiji
Only Amelonado cocoa is now being planted in Fiji. Experiments superimposed on standing cocoa comprise a chupon pruning trial, in which completely unpruned cocoa is yielding remarkably well, a shade and manurial trial in which the unshaded plots are yielding at the rate of 3.000 kg/ha. and showing no response to any fertilizer, a time of fertilizer application trial with an unusual design, and a trial of the effect of fertilizer in the third and fourth years after planting. Specially planted trials comprise a Spacing x Pruning x Establishment Method factorial in which directly sown cocoa has established much better than transplants, two spacing trials (one under coconuts), a trial comparing four species of shade trees, and a series of trials comparing amelonado with seven hybrids of amelonado and various I.C.S. and Sca. clones
