Some Aspects of the Biology and Control of Vascular Streak Dieback Pathogen (Oncobasidium Theobromae) of Cocoa

Vascular streak dieback (VSD) caused by Oncobasidiun theobromae Talbot and Keane is presently the most threatening disease of cocoa in Malaysia and the Southeast Asia regions. Studies were undertaken on aspects of the biology and control of the fungus. Solid Corticiurn culture medium (CCM) and l...
