Abstract
The major and micronutrient s status of soils of healthy and disease affected areas wete examined to find out whether nutrient imbalance is the probable cause of the yellow leaf disease of arecanut. The available forms of micronutrient s such as boron, zinc, copper and manganese were low in soils both from healthy and yellow leaf disease affected gardens. Exchangeable iron was adequate in the soils. The KCl extractable aluminium contents of soils of diseased tracts were higher than those of disease free areas
