Coconut Palm Stem Processing: Technical Handbook

Wulf Killmann, Dieter Fink

Wider context · Other organisms, crops or coconut knowledge

What the paper covers

A technical handbook on coconut timber, from the properties of the stem through processing, grading, drying, product design, economics and marketing. It restores the original library’s missing handbook reference to the complete edition hosted by FAO.

Read it in context

This is a 1996 wood-processing reference, not a CRB treatment manual. Its historic processing and preservative guidance does not establish current local requirements or permission to transport infested material.
