Testing for the resistance of newly generated hybrid cacao germplasm in the gene pool of Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN) against <i>Phytophthora megakarya</i> pathogen causing black pod disease of cocoa

2020-12-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Black pod disease caused by P. Palmivora and P. megakarya is an important disease affecting cacao in West Africa which produces 70% of the world output. Resistance to the pathogen is therefore, an important factor to be considered when breeding for high yielding and earliness in fruiting. Resistance to the pathogen using Leaf Disc Test (LDT) was conducted at the Plant Pathology Laboratory, Ib...
