Suppression of basal stem rot disease progress in oil palm (elaeis guineensis) after copper and calcium supplementation

The effects of copper and calcium nutrient supplementation on basal stem rot disease caused by Ganoderma boninense were evaluated in oil palm during a 6-month glasshouse study. Nutrients were supplemented when seedlings were at the 2- to 3-leaf stage. The aim of the study was to assess the effects o...
