Best Answer

The Coconut palm is vulnerable to a couple deficiencies. Boron, manganese, magnesium and potassium deficiencies can effect this palm. Nutritient deficiencies are first noticeable in the yellowing around leaf edges and stunting of the growth rate. In bad cases and if something is not done the Coconut palm can die. To stop or attempt to stop deficiencies from happening, use foliar fertilization on a normal basis.

Coconut palms are VERY VULNERABLE to Phytoplasma or deadly yellowing caused by little bacterial organisms. This disease is the top killer of these palms. The symptoms vary greatly from yellowing to fruit drop and death of affected trees.
