Download or read book Ganoderma Diseases of Tropical Crops written by Carmel A. Pilotti and published by CABI. This book was released on 2023-11-28 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fungal genus Ganoderma includes around 80 currently recognized species that are widely distributed in temperate, subtropical and tropical regions, and cause disease in a range of economically important perennial crops and tree-like plants. Ganoderma root and lower stem rots have a significant impact on yields from crops including oil palm, coconut, beverage crops, Acacia and rubber. The identification of species responsible for stem and butt rots is often ambiguous as closely related species may only be distinguished by subtle morphological differences. Within species there can be considerable morphological plasticity and this can make morphology-based identification difficult, particularly for species described from a single specimen. Molecular techniques are helping to slowly resolve Ganoderma taxonomy but it will be some time (if ever) before the taxonomy is fully resolved. This book brings together information on Ganoderma species that are reported to be responsible for crop diseases in tropical and sub-tropical agriculture and covers taxonomy, biology, genetics, aetiology, epidemiology and control. This book is an essential resource for researchers in Ganoderma in crop science and tropical agriculture, as well as practitioners and industry.
Download or read book A Handbook of the Fungus Diseases of West Indian Plants written by Keith Bancroft and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of the Fungus Diseases of West Indian Plants: With Six Illustrated Plates During the past year the author of the following pages has been engaged, by kind permission of the Director of the Royal Gardens, Kew, in mycological work at the Jodrell Laboratory. This work, carried out under the guidance and advice of Mr. George Massee, Chief Assistant at the Royal Herbarium and Plant Pathologist to the Board of Agriculture, has included a study of a considerable mass of material sent to Kew from various tropical colonies, and has led the author to make for his own use a general survey of the principal West Indian fungus diseases of plants, and also of other tropical fungus diseases. The following pages are published with the hope that they may prove useful as a summary to workers in tropical agricultural departments, and that there may b set before the planters in the West Indies an account of the pathological effects caused by their fungus pests and an indication of the methods of treatment which have been recommended from time to time. It has been thought fit to include along with the diseases which have been reported to occur in the West Indies the more important diseases of the same crops when they are cultivated in other parts of the world. The introduction contains some general remarks on parasitic fungi, a brief discussion of the methods of treat ment most commonly in use for fungus diseases and an indication of the more important problems which are connected with the study of plant pathology in the West Indies at the present time. A diagnosis of each parasitic fungus has been given wherever it was possible to do so, and, in the more important diseases, the methods of treatment which have been actually recommended, or which would appear likely to prove effective, have been included. The more important references have been appended under each disease, and six illustrated plates have been prepared. The ground covered by the parts dealing with West Indian parasitic fungi is much the same as that contained in a paper recently contributed to the West Indian Bulletin. Published in Vol. X., No. 3, of that journal under the author's name, and entitled Fungi Causing Diseases of Cultivated Plants in the West Indies A word of explanation, therefore, appears necessary with regard to certain not inconsiderable differences between that paper and this book. Owing to the loss of time incident to transmitting the paper to England before its publication in the West Indian Bulletin, the author was not referred to in connexion with certain modifications and alterations which were made by the Imperial Mycologist to the West Indian Department of Agriculture; the paper published in the West Indian Bulletin, therefore, did not altogether express the author's views on the fungus diseases of the West Indies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work gives details of some fifty diseases of tropical tree crops which cause very significant yield losses hence compromising or even preventing cultivation. Breeding resistant planting material is currently the most widely used control method. Research is also under way on the rational use of chemical pesticides, the adoption of appropriate crop techniques and on reducing populations of insect vectors of viral and fungal diseases, phytoplasms and Phytomonas.
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.

Excerpt: ...for which it has sometimes been mistaken. It appears on the leaves as scattered circular whitish spots, equally prominent on both surfaces, and about-inch in diameter. The leaves soon turn yellow and fall, and sometimes the attack is so severe that the trees are defoliated within a month. In fact, the trees are often seen loaded with fruit but entirely defoliated. On the young shoots the spots are whitish and usually elongated. They become dry, crack, and the 1 Syn. Pistillina jlavida, Speg. fragments of bark break away in flakes, leaving the brown wood exposed. On the berries these spots are usually whitish and almost circular. In fruiting (conidial form) the fungus produces yellowish pin-like structures which stand at right angles to the surface and bear the conidiophores. This fungus was first described by Cooke as Stilbum Jlavidum, with Stilbella jlavida, Lindau, as a variant. But Massee has found the perfect or ascigerous stage and described it as Sphaerostilbe Jlavida, Massee (" Coffee Disease of the New World," in Kew Bull. Misc. Inf. 1909, No. 8). It is frequently confused with mancha, which is due to a small moth, Cemiostoma coffeella, and which is distributed throughout the greater part, and possibly all of the coffee-growing countries of America. The disease also occurs on other plants than the coffee, and this increases the difficulty in controlling it. It has been reported from Central America, Colombia, Venezuela, Dutch Guiana, Brazil, Porto Rico, Dominica, Mexico, Trinidad, and Jamaica. This disease is most destructive where the shade is excessive, and the removal of the excessive shade growths so as to allow access of sunlight and air is the only practical remedy. Cutting out and burning of the diseased parts and...
