Abstract
Electron microprobe X-ray analysis of root (wilt) diseased and healthy coconut roots were scanned for the deposition of metal ions to implicate the involvement of these metal toxicity in the root (wilt) disease of coconut. The results indicated that a high concentration of Al, Mn, Cu and Co ions localised in the disease roots compared to healthy palms. The chemical analysis of tissue samples and soils also confirmed the results of XMA.
