A ZINC deficiency has been induced in Coffea arabica trees in Kenya Colony as a result of spraying with fungicidal formulations containing mercury in organic combination. The symptoms were first observed in October 1957 on coffee trees which had been treated with certain mercurial sprays against coffee berry disease (Colletotrichum coffeanum Noack).
