Certain closely associated morphological symptoms of root (wilt) disease of coconut (Cocos nucifera)

Abstract

The morphological symptoms of root (wilt) diseased coconut palms are manifested by softening and whitening of leaflets of the spindle with necrotic spots followed by rotting. Interveinal yellowing in the leaves of the middle whorl was an additional symptom. These symptoms are important in the early diagnosis of the disease in field-grown palms.
