Abstract

Raising sprouts by dehusking seednuts partially by retaining a tuft of fibers covering the eyes of the nut was found to accelerate germination and make roots available six weeks earlier for easy handling in the laboratory. Using this method, characteristic elongate orange coloured lesions could be detected on coconut roots under a stereoscopic binocular dissecting microscope after 24 hours of inoculation with Radopholus similis.
