| dc.description.abstract | Investigations were carried out to study the uptake of water by the roots of apparently healthy and root (wilt) - affected coconut palms (Cocos nucifera L.). Feeding the cut end of roots with water indicated that diseased palms have lesser uptake than the healthy palms. Irrigating the palms during summer had beneficial effect on water uptake through roots of different maturity and by roots of healthy and diseased palms. Estimation of soil moisture content at different profiles in the basins of apparently healthy and diseased palms at one day interval for five days after irrigation indicated that the former" had greater depletion of water than the latter. These results show that the root system of diseased palms is adversely affected. | en_US |
