Foliar resistance of cacao (Theobroma cacao) to Phytophthora palmivora as an indicator of pod resistance in the field: interaction of cacao genotype, leaf age and duration of incubation
2006-12-01
Abstract excerpt
The effects were studied of four leaf development stages (LDS) and three durations of incubation (DI) on the accuracy of leaf-disc tests on eight cacao (cocoa) clones (C) for predicting field resistance to phytophthora pod rot caused by Phytophthora palmivora. The clones were known to possess different general combining abilities (GCA) for pod resistance in the field, evaluated monthly at harvest over a 9-year per...
