H. aEffect of phosphorus skipping on the yield and nutrition of coconut palm (Cocos nucifera L.).h[electronic resource] c1983 aThe beneficial role of phosphorus on adult coconut palms has always been a debating question. Eden, Gowert and Salgado, (1963) in Sri Lanka, Pandalai and Marar, (1964) in India, Smith (1966) in Jamaica, Uexkull (1972), Barile and Azuceana (1972) in the Philippines did not obtain much improvement in the yield of adult coconut palms due to the application of phosphorus fertilisers. As phosphorus are non-renewable resources and the present energy crisis has revived interest in phosphate release studies from unavailable forms, it is worthwhile to examine the possibility of utilizing accumulated P reserves In soil in the economic management of adult coconut gardens. aNutrition aCoco aCocos Nucifera aNutrição aCoconut aCoqueiro aPalm aPalma1 aSANKARANAYANAN, M.
