Summary

In an oil palm uniformity trial in West Malaysia leaf samples were analysed and fruit type was recorded. Significant differences were found in foliar composition according to fruit type and it is suggested that this factor should be taken into account, together with other genotypic differences, in using leaf analysis as a guide to the fertilizer requirements of palms.
