Testing local cacao selections in Sulawesi for resistance to vascular streak dieback

2018-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Vascular streak dieback (VSD) causes serious losses for cacao (or cocoa) smallholders in Sulawesi, Indonesia. The disease is caused by a Cantharellales species, Ceratobasidium theobromae, which colonises the xylem, resulting in leaf chlorosis or necrosis, abscission and eventual branch dieback. The disease is most successfully managed by pruning infected branches and the propagation of resistant genotypes. In part...
