Abstract
(1.) Some typical coconut-growing kari tracts of Kerala viz,, Thottappally, Vechoor and Vaikom were surveyed. Comparatively healthy plantations of coconut could be noticed in these areas, and the spread of the root (wilt) disease was, in many instances, seen abruptly to stop at the borders of the kari lands. (2) Stunted growth and poor, per- formance of coconut in highly acid kari tracts could be remedied by proper addition of lime and -superphosphate. (3) Old plantations, especially when neglected,.lost all beneficial properties of kari and became susceptible to root(wilt) disease.
