The N, P, and K content did not differ between healthy and diseased palms. The Ca and Mg content of healthy palms were significantly higher than those of apparently healthy or diseased palms. Evaluation of nutrient element balance indicated that the palms in the root (wilt) affected areas are in a state of unbalanced nutrition.enArticle
