| description | Vascular streak dieback (VSD) caused by Oncobasidiun theobromae
Talbot and Keane is presently the most threatening disease of cocoa
in Malaysia and the Southeast Asia regions. Studies were undertaken
on aspects of the biology and control of the fungus.
Solid Corticiurn culture medium (CCM) and liquid coconut water
medium which were modified had provided better growth and prolonged
survivability of 0. theobrornae. Nutritional factors viz. nitrogen,
carbon and vitamin sources were observed to improve the growth of
the fungus on these media. |
