An evaluation of gains in breeding for resistance to the cocoa swollen shoot virus disease in Ghana

2013-09-01

Abstract excerpt

The present study examines the gains in resistance to cocoa swollen shoot virus (CSSV) infection from investments in breeding over the past seven decades. The general susceptibility to CSSV infection of the West African Amelonado that dominated plantings prior to the start of formal research in 1938 necessitated the introduction of germplasm of Upper Amazon origin to better contain the disease spread. Included in...
