Download or read book Ganoderma Diseases of Perennial Crops written by J. Flood and published by CABI. This book was released on 2000 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation. Diseases caused by Ganoderma species cause major losses of palms and other perennial crops throughout the world, and these are particularly significant in Asia. Successive replanting of crop monocultures can be rapidly exploited by soil borne fungi such as Ganoderma, and the problem will become more serious in the 21st century, as more areas become due for second or even third replanting. Environmental considerations will reduce exploitation of new forest areas, making further replanting of these crops inevitable. Thus, appropriate, integrated management systems for these diseases are vital. However, the development of such control measures has been hampered in the past by a limited knowledge of the nature and inter-relationships of populations of different hosts and the mechanisms of disease establishment and spread.This book aims to address these limitations through enhanced knowledge of the biology and taxonomy of Ganoderma species. The use of molecular and biochemical methods can be used to provide a greater understanding of the spread of the pathogen, and consequently, the improved management of disease.

Download or read book Palms of controversies written by Alain Rival and published by CIFOR. This book was released on 2014-07-17 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid development of oil palm cultivation feeds many social issues such as biodiversity, deforestation, food habits or ethical investments. How can this palm be viewed as a ‘miracle plant’ by both the agro-food industry in the North and farmers in the tropical zone, but a serious ecological threat by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) campaigning for the environment or rights of local indigenous peoples? In the present book the authors – a biologist and an agricultural economist- describe a global and complex tropical sector, for which the interests of the many different stakeholders are often antagonistic. Oil palm has become emblematic of recent changes in North-South relationship in agricultural development. Indeed, palm oil is produced and consumed in the South; its trade is driven by emerging countries, although the major part of its transformations is made in the North that still hosts the largest multinational agro industries. It is also in the North that the sector is challenged on ethical and environmental issues. Public controversy over palm oil is often opinionated and it is fed by definitive and sometimes exaggerated statements. Researchers are conveying a more nuanced speech, which is supported by scientific data and a shared field experience. Their work helps in building a more balanced view, moving attention to the South, the region of exclusive production and major consumption of palm oil.

This book was released on 1996 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oil palm is a relatively new crop in Central and South America, which was commercially established in the sixties. At present the total planted area is 350,000 ha, and the largest are the following: Colombia, 126,000 ha; Ecuador, 95,000 ha; Brazil, 39,000 ha; Venezuela, 14,000 ha; and Central America; 76,000 ha. Economically significant pests and diseases are common to the crop in Central and South America. The most important are Bud Rot (PC), Red Ring, Marchitez sorpresive and pestalotiopsis. Among insect pests the following must be mentioned: stem borrers such as Strategus oleus L. (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), and some leaf eaters and succkers which may induce Pestalotiopsis and cause damage to oil palm fronds. Mites also represent a serious economic problem in Colombia. This article presents the characteristics of the main pests and diseases affecting the crop, which could spread to other continents. [Authors' abstract].
