Leaf inoculation as an early screening test for cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) resistance to Phytophthora black pod disease

1995-12-01

Abstract excerpt

In this study a leaf inoculation method was used to standardize a bioassay for testing the genetic susceptibility (or resistance) of cocoa cultivars to black pod disease caused by Phytophthora palmivora and Phytophthora megakarya. Both whole leaves and leaf discs from non-lignified twigs, were suitable for inoculation with suspensions of 3 X 10(5) zoospores/ml. Cocoa clones tested for resistance to black pod with...
