| dc.description.abstract | Careful analysis of soil samples has shown that there is a significant difference between healthy and diseased areas in their status of available and exchangeable potassium There is a higher concentration of these factors in the samples from healthy areas, as compared to samples from diseased areas, although the difference is not so marked in the case of exchangeable potassium. (2) The symptoms exhibited by palms affected by root disease appear to have resemblance to those generally attributed to a deficiency of potassium. (3) Lack of accumulation of potassium in the leaf tissues of diseased palms as evidenced by leaf analysis, tends to give support to the conclusions mentioned earlier. (4) Pot culture and field trials are considered necessary before these conclusions can be considered as final- These trials are in progress. | en_US |
