The Tropical Agriculturist. The Agricultural Journal of Ceylon September 1936

1936

Letters appear in the newspapers from time to time and the Department of Agriculture receives many requests for information with regard to the cultivation of the tree and the marketing of the nut. [...] We only require the capital and enterprise combined with a rigid insistence on the use of the best material and the best cultural methods of the day."134 The first step that must be taken is to eliminate the extended use of the imported plant which is budded on to a rootstock not always satisfactory to the soil and climatic conditions of the proposed orchard by raising budded plants on local roots [...] Control ileaNnres : Owing to its endophytic nature no methods of curing the disease are known and control can only be effected by the destruction of affected parts of plants by the prevention of the spread of the disease and by the protetion from the disease of healthy plants. [...] The use of winbreaks of trees prevents the dissemination of the causal organism by the wind and also prevents the whipping of the foliage. [...] CONCLUSION The chemical data obtained from the study of the crop composition and the available phosphoric acid of the soil in the experiments designed to determine the effects of (1) frequency of application (2) form of phosphatic fertiliser generally bear out the non-significance of the differences in yields between the varied treatments under the experimental conditions at Peradeniya.
