![]() ![]() įusarium wilt is endemic in several African countries where thousands of palms have been lost and yield markedly reduced. ![]() Among oil palm diseases are Ganoderma common in South East Asia (highest oil palm production zone in the world), bud rot (Latin America) and vascular wilt (Africa) that all affect growth and reduce oil yields. Research endeavors have been geared towards the development of appropriate crop management approaches like lower cost cropping systems and non-chemical control of endemic diseases. Įndemic diseases of the oil palm ( Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) are a major threat to its culture around the world. Palm oil is used for food purposes (cooking oil, margarine, vanaspati, and shortenings), oleochemicals (detergents, cosmetics) and pharmaceutical purposes (carotenes), health supplement and as a source of biofuel. The fruits of this crop produce two types of oil: crude palm oil (CPO) extracted from the mesocarp and palm kernel oil (PKO) extracted from the kernel. It is a perennial monocot currently considered to be the most important and highest producing oil crop in the world. The oil palm ( Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) with chromosome number 2n = 32 belongs to the family Arecaceae. elaeidis, Causal Agent of Oil Palm ( Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) Vascular Wilt."

Research in Plant Sciences 3.1 (2015): 18-26. These results can improve understanding of the procedures used and devise a selection strategy of the antagonistic microbial stocks for a biological control against oil palm vascular wilt disease. In MM, the conidial stocks developed and filled the Petri dish in about 3 days contrary to the filamentous fungal stocks which took about 7 days to fill the Petri dish. Results showed that the isolates develop very quickly in the Medium for Mycelium (MM) contrary to PDA medium. The in vitro mycelial growth, sporulation (conidia), growth rate, biomass and the other characteristics as well as the correlation of the isolates in the culture media were recorded. Some 30 isolates of F.o.e and 10 g of infected soil were collected on and around infected oil palm trees from the field and used to appreciate various morphological characters that influence their aptitude to persist in the soil and on the host. In order to document the F.o.e isolation and characterization procedures, a 3 months study was carried out in palm plantations around IRAD Ekona and in the palm pathology laboratory located in the South-West region of Cameroon. elaeidis (F.o.e) is one of the major diseases of oil palm ( Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) in the South-West region of Cameroon.
