Abstract
1. Detailed studies on the soil conditions in relation to the diseases of the coconut palm in Travancore-Cochin have been undertaken and comparative analytical data of soils of representative diseased and healthy areas for nitrogen, soil organic matter and carbon nitrogen ratio with special reference to soil types have been presented. 2. There is no indication from the results that these factors have any significant influence in orientating the disease conditions of the palms, in spite of their intimate association with soil fertility. 3. The above does not preclude certain indirect ways in which these factors may exercise their influence as predisposing factors for disease attack.
