Coconut ( Cocos nucifera  L.) is common plant for the Moluccan farmers to apply local wisdom in cultivation, called  sasi . This study describes  sasi  implementation of coconut cultivation in South Buru and its effects on the quality of the coconut harvest. The research was conducted by field observation and interviews. Data were obtained from coconut trees aged 16–25 years and &gt; 30 years. There are two common methods of cultivation through  sasi , religion-based permission (local church) and traditional  sasi . Both forms of  sasi  have different indications. On the basis of the  sasi  system, coconut plantations cannot be penetrated for six months (a spell prohibiting access to the crop) and harvesting only takes place after the end of the  sasi  period (avoiding any risk of theft of the fruit). Yields on the 16–25-years-old trees had a weight of endosperms of 243–378 g and a thickness of the coconut endosperm of 9.2–12.2 mm over the monitored 10–18 months fruit age period, each showing a bell-shaped variation with a maximum for about 13 months old fruits. Yields on &gt; 30-years-old trees group showed the same pattern. Thus, although  sasi  is useful for protecting the coconut fruit before harvesting, the implementation of coconut  sasi  for six months ultimately decreases the quality of the crops and postpones the best harvest time. Therefore it is recommended that the implementation of coconut  sasi  in South Buru be adjusted with the biological timing of coconut ripening.
