In 1964, it was decided to plant a new trial at Kapogere
Agricultural Station in the Central District, Papua. The scope of the trial was
broadened to include at least nine foreign introductions: New Hebrides, Solomon
Islands, Malaysia, Rennell Island, Singapore, Ceylon-Random, Ceylon-Selected,
Maldives and Fiji Talls. The status of these accessions remains unknown. They
are not registered in the Coconut Genetic Resources Database and they were not transferred to the international
collection in Madang.
