FAQs on NCERT Textbook: Coconut Farm - Mathematics (Maths Mela) Class 5 - New NCERT

1. What is the significance of coconut in agriculture and economy?
Ans.Coconut is often referred to as the "tree of life" due to its numerous uses. It plays a vital role in agriculture and the economy, particularly in tropical regions. The coconut tree provides various products like copra (dried coconut), coconut oil, and fresh coconuts, which are essential for food, cosmetics, and health industries. Additionally, the cultivation of coconuts supports the livelihoods of many farmers and contributes to local and national economies through exports.
2. How is coconut cultivated and what are the key conditions required for its growth?
Ans.Coconut cultivation requires specific climatic conditions, such as warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-drained sandy or loamy soils. The trees thrive in areas with annual rainfall between 1,000 mm to 2,500 mm. Farmers typically plant coconut saplings at a distance of about 7-9 meters apart to allow for proper growth and sunlight exposure. Regular maintenance, including irrigation, weeding, and pest control, is essential for healthy coconut production.
3. What are the different parts of the coconut tree and their uses?
Ans.The coconut tree has several parts, each with distinct uses. The trunk provides wood for construction and furniture. The leaves are used for thatching roofs, making baskets, and crafting handicrafts. The fruit, or coconut, is consumed as food and used to produce oil, milk, and water. Additionally, the husk and shell can be utilized for making coir products, such as ropes and mats, while the sap can be fermented to produce alcoholic beverages.
4. What are the health benefits of consuming coconut products?
Ans.Coconut products, including coconut oil, milk, and water, offer various health benefits. Coconut oil is rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which can boost metabolism and provide quick energy. Coconut water is an excellent source of hydration and electrolytes, making it popular among athletes. Additionally, the high fiber content in coconut aids digestion and helps maintain gut health. Regular consumption of coconut products may also support heart health and improve skin conditions.
5. What challenges do coconut farmers face, and how can they be addressed?
Ans.Coconut farmers face several challenges, including climate change, pests, and diseases that can affect crop yield. To address these issues, farmers can adopt sustainable farming practices, such as integrated pest management and organic farming techniques. Additionally, investing in research and development can help in developing disease-resistant coconut varieties. Access to markets and fair pricing is also crucial, so establishing cooperatives can help farmers gain better bargaining power and improve their economic conditions.
