Item A Boron Deficiency In Sisal (Acav,E Sisalana Perrine)(1956/1957) Diekmahns, E.C.During sand culture investigations at Mlingano dealing with the acronutrient status of sisal plants, a new leaf symptom was observed. This symptom took the form of a cracking of the leaf epidermis, but it only occurred on well-developed plants with 25 leaves or more and on plants that were at least 30 cm. high. Plants were affected more or less irrespective of the macronutrient treatment. All these plants received a complete micronutrient solution but the occurrence of the symptom on these large plants suggested that the supply of one of the micronutrients might be approaching a level of deficiency.Item Rapid Propagation of Sisal Hybrid No. 11648(1960/1961) Diekmahns, E.C.; May, W.B.; East African Agriculture and Forestry Research Organization, Kikuyu; Sisal Research Station, TanganyikaThe normal plantation method of propagating sisal vegetative, is by the use of basal suckers or bulbils. Where it is desired to bulk up rapidly one particular plant, such as hybrid No. 11648, the use of single rhizome buds greatly speeds the task of multiplication.
