Abstract
The deposition of Cr, Ti, Cu, Pb, Bi and Ga in the cabbage tissue of root (wilt) diseased coconut palms were investigated by employing scanning electron x-ray microprobe analyser. The x-ray oscillogram and back scattered electron image of specimen indicated the high deposition of Cr, Ti, Cu, Pb, Bi and Ga in the cabbage of diseased palms which were absent in the healthy ones. This was also confirmed in the chemical analysis of a large number of tissue and soil samples under identical conditions.
