Methodology for the identification and prioritizing research and technology transfer in the Colombian palm sector : the priority diseases and plagues in the palm zones

Decide the degree of importance of each research issue in the different zones of the country is a difficult task, which should be done by the national research centers in specific crops and other institutions due to the limited economic resources available. The sanitary problem, which exists in different degrees in the palm zones represents a serious threat to the sustainability of the sector and it is practically impossible to carry out all the research that may be necessary. Cenipalma has developed a methodology through which their own researchers along with plantation and mill technicians work together with the aim of establishing on objective scale for the relevant research topics. The current phytosanitary problems identified in the palm sector has allowed the industry to take steps that enrich and strengthen the sanitary and technology transfer programs as wells as setting up short, medium and long term interdisciplinary efforts by Cenipalma.
