Abstract
In arecanut affected with yellow leaf disease, the contents of chlorophyll (chlorophyll a, b and total chlorophyll) in leaves were reduced, On the other hand the contents of carotene and xanthophyll were elevated in the infected palms. Consequent to serious derangements in the major plant pigments the foliar yellowing appeared and this symptom seems to be expressed systematically in diseased palms.
