Validity of a leaf inoculation test to assess the resistance to Phytophthora megakarya in a cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) diallel mating design.

2002-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Cocoa pod rot, caused by different Phytophthora species, is rife in all production zones. Phytophthora spp. control is therefore a major challenge for world cocoa cultivation, and selection of resistant material is a priority research theme for many producing countries. Various genetic trials have been set up over many years in zones affected by the disease. In Cameroon, a 6x6 diallel mating design was set up to s...
