| Research Abstract |
A large amount of starch of sago palm is accumulated in the trunk, and possibly introduced as food ingredient, feeding stuff and industrial materials. Sago palm grows on highly acidic soil and oligotrophic soil widely spread in tropical lowland swamp, but the root development and nutrient absorption have not been studied. In this study, the characteristics of root distribution and nutrient absorption in sago palm were examined in relation to the starch production at different areas in Indonesia and Malaysia.
