Ganoderma diseases of oil palm - an interpretation from Bah Lias Research Station.
Abstract
Ganoderma diseases remain the most significant constraint to sustainable oil palm production in South East Asia. This paper seeks to review our current knowledge of Ganodenna in oil palm, highlighting the gaps in our knowledge of the disease and giving possible hypotheses to explain the situation. A working hypothesis (from Bah Lias Research Station) for Ganoderma diseases of oil palm - Upper Stem Rot (USR), Basal Stem Rot (BSR) in first plantings and in replantings, is presented. A putative life cycle for Ganoderma boninense is also produced. The exploitation of the weaknesses in this life cycle should allow more sustainable management practices to be identified. 47 ref.
