Host Range and Control Strategies of Phytophthora palmivora in Southeast Asia Perennial Crops

Phytophthora palmivora is a destructive plant pathogenic oomycete that has caused lethal diseases in wide range of hosts. It pan-tropical distributed pathogen can infect plants at all growth stages. Extensive studies have linked P. to severe several crops, such as black pepper, rubber, cocoa, and durian, causing global economic losses. This review covers the following topics depth: (i) phytopathogen; (ii) identification infection mechanism durian; (iii) management control applied for diseases. Effective strategies were studied practiced prevent spread disease. Genetic resistance biocontrol are best methods A better understanding mechanisms our main crops early disease detection reduce risk catastrophic pandemics.
