Diversity of Phytophthora palmivora on cocoa in Papua New Guinea

Phytophthora pod rot of cocoa in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and elsewhere is still of significant importance in spite of decades of research on disease-management strategies. It is now realised that pathogen populations need to be considered when developing disease-management strategies Furthermore, laboratory isolates used in resistance studies were not representative of the pathogen populations in the field which are constantly changing to adapt to their environment. This paper aims to construct the population structure of Phytophthora palmivora in PNG in order to improve disease management.
