Biologi and Control of White Root Disease of Hevea Rubber Caused by Rigidoporus Lignosus (Klotzsch) Imazeki

White root disease is by far the most serious among the three major root diseases of rubber. Current methods of control of the disease include pre-planting control procedures, such as mechanical or hand clearing, sulphur amendment, use of covers and intercrops: post-planting control procedures,...
