| description | The objective of this study is to establish the importance
of micronutrients B, Fe, Mn, Mo and especially Cu and Zn for the
cuItivation of pineapple cvs Mauritius and Masmerah on virgin peat
coils in Peninsular Malaysia. A pot and three field trials were
set up to determine the effects of these micronutrients on the plant
height, leaf number, fresh and dry weights of D-leaf, Cu and Zn content of D-leaf and the fruit weight of these two cultivars. The
deficiency symptoms were also observed. A study on rinduced Cu and
Zn deficiencies was also carried out on the two cultivars.
Only Cu showed distinct deficiency symptoms in both the pot
and field trials in pineapple cv Mauritius while none was observed
for B, Fe, Mn, Mo,and Zn. No distinct deficiency symptoms of B, Cu,
Fe, Mn, Mo and Zn were observed on pineapple cv Masmerah.
only Cu was observed to give significant effect to the plant
height, fresh an d dry weight of D-leaf an d Cu-content of D-leaf on
cv Mauritius. However, the leaf number and fruit weight were not
significantly affected. The Cu-deficient pl ants in the field were
observed to be sporadic or pocket-like in distribution . The
deficiency was observed to occur as early as the fourth of fifth month
of planting. No significant difference was observed with the different
levels of Cu (5,10,15 kg/ha) applied on the above-mentioned factors
investigated. Thus, Cu at 5 kg/h a would be sufficient to overcome the
deficiency symptoms in the field. The effect of Zn was observed to be
non-significant for the cultivation of pineapple cv Mauritius. |
