Cultural-morphology and molecular analysis of Botryodiplodia theobromae, a pathogen of coconut fruit

2025-11-12

Abstract excerpt

Background In coconut production, less than one third of the button nuts produced in an inflorescence eventually develop into mature nuts, as a result of fruit rot and premature nut fall diseases. Botryodiplodia theobromae is linked to the fruit rot and premature nut fall diseases of coconut, resulting in consequential yield loss of over 60%. Furthermore, the fungus poses a concern to plants, farmers, and plant h...
