Coconut Experiment Work in New Ireland III: Progress of Fertilizer Trials 1958-1964.

Abstract

In an earlier paper (Charles 1959 a) a description was given of the condition of coconut palms on the east coast of New Ireland where extensive production decline had occurred over the previous ten to twenty years. A survey had indicated that the condition of the palms was related to variations in the type of soil developed from coral parent material.
