Integrated management of Phytophthora diseases on cocoa (Theobroma cacao L): Impact of plant breeding on pod rot incidence

2007-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Pod rot, caused by several species belonging to the genus Phytophthora, is the main cause of cocoa harvest losses worldwide. Among the methods making up integrated disease management (IDM), the creation of resistant cultivars has been identified as a priority in cocoa breeding research programmes. To that end, various experiments have enhanced knowledge about the genetic basis of resistance to pod rot. Genetic tri...
