| dc.description.abstract | The effect of supplying various metals viz. Pb, Cd, Al, Bi, Cr, Cu and Ba to the roots of coconut palms on the P, K, Ca and Mg concentration in the leaves of coconut palms was investigated. The results showed that compared with the control the amount of leaf phosphorus was reduced by all the metals. The K concentration in the leaves was reduced by Al, Cd and Ba but increased by Bi and Cr. Leaf Ca concentration was decreased by Al and Pb treatments and increased by Cd, Cr and Ba. The amount of magnesium in the leaves was low in palms receiving the Al and the Cr but enhanced by Pb. | en_US |
