Basal Stem Rot of Oil Palm : Incidence, Etiology and Control

Basal stem rot (BSR) caused by Ganoderma spp. is a disease of economic importance in oil palm in Malaysia. Although much is known on the occurrence of this devastating disease, fundamental studies on it and its pathogen are rather limited. At present, there appears to be ambiguity in the identi...
