| dc.description.abstract | 1. The results of studies on some aspects of moisture availability, moisture excess and moisture deficiency as well as water-table of soils in the healthy and diseased areas in relation to the incidence of the root and leaf diseases of the coconut palms have been presented and discussed. 2. A higher percentage of combined water in the healthy areas in sandy, red loam and laterite areas compared to diseased areas (the reverse being the case in the alluvial loams) as well as a higher percentage of hygroscopic moisture in the healthy areas in red loam and laterite were found to be rather characteristic. 3. From the facts that a large proportion of the areas where the disease is prevalent have high water tables, it has to be concluded that water logging of the soil is a prominent factor which predisposes disease conditions in the palms. 4. The need for providing facilities for preventing water logging of coconut soils by securing good drainage conditions and preventing continued water stagnation at the root zone has been emphasised. | en_US |
