Abstract
Basal stem rot caused by Ganoderma boninense is the single major disease to affect oil palms in South Asia and Oceania. Although first described in commercial plantations some 90 years ago it remains a major constraint to oil palm planting, with disease occurence increasing with succesive plantings. There is a considerable volume of published research into the occurence, diagnostics and control of basal stem rot but much of this has been focused on individual plantings or local environments. In this manuscript we attempt to bring together reports from across the South Asia/Oceania regions to provide a comprehensive review of the current knowledge and to identify the key issues that still need to be addressed in order to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the disease and disease processes.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Applied Biology is an international journal sponsored by the Association of Applied Biologists. The journal publishes original research papers on all aspects of applied research on crop production, crop protection and the cropping ecosystem. The journal is published both online and in six printed issues per year.
Annals papers must contribute substantially to the advancement of knowledge and may, among others, encompass the scientific disciplines of:
Agronomy
Agrometeorology
Agrienvironmental sciences
Applied genomics
Applied metabolomics
Applied proteomics
Biodiversity
Biological control
Climate change
Crop ecology
Entomology
Genetic manipulation
Molecular biology
Mycology
Nematology
Pests
Plant pathology
Plant breeding & genetics
Plant physiology
Post harvest biology
Soil science
Statistics
Virology
Weed biology
Annals also welcomes reviews of interest in these subject areas. Reviews should be critical surveys of the field and offer new insights. All papers are subject to peer review. Papers must usually contribute substantially to the advancement of knowledge in applied biology but short papers discussing techniques or substantiated results, and reviews of current knowledge of interest to applied biologists will be considered for publication. Papers or reviews must not be offered to any other journal for prior or simultaneous publication and normally average seven printed pages.
