Resumen
Descripción
For almost a century, cocoa pod rot due to Moniliophthora roreri has been causing serious damage in several Latin American countries. The fungus attacks pods, and after an incubation period of 4060 d, brown patches appear, rapidly followed by development of a thick mycelial mat, which constitutes the secondary inoculum. Control methods used involve fungicides and agrotechniques to limit inoculum sources and slow down disease development. However, the methods are not very costeffective and a move is under way to seek intrinsic resistance sources using artificial inoculation.
