Rapid screening of cacao genotypes for field resistance to Phytophthora palmivora using leaves, twigs and roots
2000-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Black pod, caused by Phytophthora spp. is one of the most important diseases of cacao occurring worldwide. Losses due to black pod caused by P. palmivora are still moderate in Cote d'Ivoire but P. megakarya causes high losses in Ghana and other Central African countries. Variation in field attack has been observed between cacao genotypes, but evaluation of pod losses is unsuitable for obtaining rapid progress in b...
