Summary

Visual symptoms of deficiencies of manganese, copper, zinc, iron, molybdenum and boron on sisal are described, and compared with those observed previously with deficiencies of macronutrients. The diagnostic value of symptoms is discussed, and tentative suggestions made for micronutrient concentrations in leaves for adequacy and deficiency.
