Coconut Research Station, Aliyarnagar, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, situated at Aliyarnagar 20 kms away from Pollachi has its genesis in 1963 as Agricultural Research Station to cater to the research needs of the farming community of Parambikulam Aliyar Command Area.
The station is vested with the regional and national responsibility of crop breeding, crop management and crop protection in groundnut and coconut. The station was renamed as Coconut Research Station during 2002 owing to the growing importance of research activities in coconut due to the expanding area under coconut cultivation in the Western Zone of Tamil Nadu.
