Phytophthora palmivora se asocia como causante de la pudrición del cogollo (PC), enfermedad que afecta el rendimiento y supervivencia las plantaciones palma aceitera en Colombia. Con objetivo explorar alternativas control biológico a PC evaluó in vitro acción antagónica nueve cepas hongos filamentosos: Aspergillus clavatus, glaucus, niger, nidulans, terreus, Penicillium sp. 01, 02, Paecilomyces...

Background: Black pod rot disease of cocoa caused by (Phytophthora palmivora Butl.) is one the major diseases on plantations worldwide. Many attempts have been made to prevent or reduce infection pathogens, but they not provided optimum results. This study aims detect antibiotic genes in endophytic bacteria that can suppress black disease. Methods: Eight were isolated from healthy pods and twig...

Abstract Neofusicoccum parvum is a recently reported pathogen affecting Theobroma cacao L., and has been isolated from symptomatic pods on Oahu Hawaii Islands. Determining infection routes virulence are essential for assessing the impact of N. production developing effective disease management strategies. Infection were determined by inoculating unwounded stems with six isolates alongside Lasio...

Introduction Dasgupta (2008) showed that fosetyl-Al and BM Phytophthora spp. (P. parasitica, P. nicotianae mixture were effective in controlling this var. parasitica, P. palmivora, P. capsici), are disease. Sengupta et al. (2011) recorded lower perpetual menace to the crop of betelvine, return where biological control agents (BCAs) causing foot rot and leaf rot. The extents of were used for its...
