This book was released on 2004 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main purpose of the overview presented in this book is to provide the international community with knowledge and tools that can be used to breed cocoa trees with greater resistance to Phytophthora. It covers pathogen diversity, epidemiological knowledge, the genetic parameters of resistance observed in the field, and practical breeding aspects. The relevance of different screening tests involving artificial inoculations and the use of molecular markers for the selection of resistant material are widely covered.

Book excerpt: This book reviews the current state of knowledge concerning cacao pathogens and methods for their management. Topics discussed include the history, biology and genetic diversity of Moniliophthora species (which cause witches’ broom and frosty pod rot) and Phytophthora species (which cause black pod rot) that cause diseases resulting in major losses to cacao production. Emerging pathogens such as Cacao swollen shoot virus and Ceratobasidium theobromae (which causes vascular streak dieback) are also discussed in detail, along with many pathogens of significant local concern. Most of these pathogens represent major risks to global cacao production should they expand into new areas, breaking out of their current limited distributions. By considering cacao diseases as a group, similarities in the available tools and techniques used in their management become apparent, as do their limitations. Gaps in our current knowledge of cacao pathogens and the management of the diseases they cause are detailed, and suggestions for future research directions are provided. This insight allows readers to consider cacao disease threats from a more comprehensive, global perspective and paves the way for an improved synergy of efforts between the various research programs, agencies, and industries, both private and public, with vested interests in cacao production, and cacao farmers.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was conducted to select or develop a rapid and easy but reliable standardized inoculation method for preliminary screening of cacao for resistance to P. palmivora. Previously published methods and various modifications of some of them were examined using the same cacaocultivars and the same P. palmivora isolate throughout. Results from these methods were compared with each other and with data of natural infection in the field. Screening methods examined were: 1)Inoculation of attached pods using zoospore suspension without wounding or mixed mycelial-sporangial suspension with and without wounding, 2) Inoculationof detached pods using zoospore suspension with and without wounding, 3) Inoculation of blocks of pod pericarp tissue with zoosporesuspension, 4) Inoculation with mycelium-agar discs of seedling-stems and branches on the tree, 5) Inoculation of attached leaves with mycelium-agar disc or zoospore suspension, 6) Inoculation of seedling rootswith zoospore suspension, 7) Inoculation of germinated seeds with zoospore suspension or mycelial-sporangial suspension. Methods varied in the degree with they differentiated between resistant and susceptible cultivar reactions, and in consistency over replicated tests. However, the most resistant cultivars (Pound 7, Scavina 6, Scavina 12 and Catongo) were graded as resistant in most methods. The most reliable screening method for use with fruiting trees was point-inoculation of unwounded attached pods using zoospore suspension and recording percentage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost five million tonnes of cocoa produced annually drives the US$100 billion global chocolate industry. To sustain the industry, cacao planting materials (seeds and clones) have been successfully moved from the Amazon forests in America to the humid tropical forests of Africa, Asia, and Australia. In more than 150 years of commercial cacao cultivation, smallholder farmers that supply the bulk of cocoa beans still face several production constraints that impede their efficiency. Scientific technologies have therefore been deployed to remove these constraints by ensuring a continuous supply of good quality cocoa beans to meet growing global demand. This book provides insight into these scientific advances to address these current and emerging problems and to assure the sustainability of the global cocoa industry.
