    Feasibility of replanting coconuts within or adjacent to cadang-cadang infested areas
    (1969) Domingo B. Protacio
    Coco nino seedlings were planted in an area where cadang-cadang had previously killed coconut trees and the soil around the trees was treated with (1) soil from the base of a tree in an advanced stage of cadang-cadang, (2) soil as in (1) but to which was added chopped leaves, roots, and trunk from a diseased tree, (3) soil microorganisms, particularly Fusarium spp., (4) unidentified spp. of nematodes, and (5) untreated control. Only one out of 358 trees in the experiment came down with the disease. It is concluded that it is relatively safe to replant cadang-cadang devastated lands with coconut.
