New Machineries For Dehusking Coconut And Shreading Coconut Leaves
Traditionally coconut dehusking is being done manually by men labour using a pointed iron rod fixed on the ground from time immemorial. In the household utilization, a knife is used to split the husk. Over a period of time attempts were made to develop dehusking machines by the scientists as... read more
COCONUT LEAF NUTRIENT LEVELS OF BEARING DWARF VARIETIES AND PHYSIOLOGICAL CRITICAL AND ADEQUACY LEVELS IN CROP NUTRITION MANAGEMENT
An analysis of the leaf nutrient concentrations data of bearing palms (grown in a suitable coastal ecosystem) of three coconut dwarf varieties [Malayan yellow dwarf(MLYD), Catigan green dwarf(CATGD) and Tacunan green dwarf(TACGD)] planted at the designed-genetic blocks of the Zamboanga Research Center, San Ramon, Zamboanga City (Western Mindanao, Philippines), covering... read more
COCONUT LEAF ROT DISEASE COMPLEX A REVIEW
Occurrence of leaf rot disease (LRDC) of coconut is related to increased incidence of root wilt disease (RWD). The palms with RWD irrespective of age are susceptible, young ones are more susceptible to LRDC. Tender leaves especially the spindle play a critical role in LRDC incidence and the disease attributed... read more
SOIL PROPERTIES AND NUTRIENT ELEMENT STATUS OF COCONUT LEAVES UNDER DEFFERENT CROPPING PATTERNS
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of six coconut cropping patterns on the soil properties and nutrient element status of coconut leaves. The experiments were carried out from August 1984 to May 1985 in Silang, Cavite, Philippines. Data on‑soil properties and nutrient element starus of coconut leaves were... read more
HOST RESISTANCE IN COCONUT LEAVES AGAINST LEAF BLIGHT DISEASE CAUSED BY PESTALOTIOPSIS PALMARUM (COOKE) STEY
Total and Ortho dihydroxy were more in younger coconut leaves as compared to the older leaves. Seven phenolic compounds were detected in younger leaves while the older leaves had only six phenolic compounds except chlorogenic acid Phenolic compounds inhibited the mycelial growth and Sporulation of P. palmarum. The quantity of... read more
