Abstract excerpt
Oil palm estates in southeast Asia suffer from substantial losses due to basal stem rot caused by Ganoderma boninense.

Differences in susceptibility to the disease have been detected within the two Elaeis species, guineensis and oleifera. Within Elaeis guineensis, material of Deli origin is...
