| dc.description.abstract | (1) The results of studies on the total and exchangeable calcium as well as the total and exchangeable magnesium contents of healthy and diseased coconut soils have been presented and discussed. (2) Total calcium content is, in general, lower in the diseased areas as compared to healthy areas. (3) Values for total exchangeable bases are lower in the diseased areas than the healthy areas. (4) No definite conclusion regarding the role of magnesium in relation to the disease condition of the trees could be drawn, although it is clear that either lack of or non-availability of the nutrients in the soil is tied up with it. (5) The need for a systematic observational trial involving potassium, calcium and magnesium manuring of the attacked palms for assessing the interrelationships of these cations in the soil and the palm tissue in relation to the disease conditions has been emphasised. | en_US |
