Characterised as:
The fungi were identified based on morphological characteristics and confirmed with the proof of pathogenicity test using principles.
Pathogenic to:
Oil palm seedlings, coconut seedlings.
Host part affected: Leaf spots with dark patches (spots) lesions with necrotic tissues at the centre of the black spots.
Growth Conditions:
7 days on PDA or Oat Meal Agar at 28oC +/- 1oC.
Substrate: Sawdust, Rise bran and husk, Sorghum, Millet and Maize
Other Details:
5 different fungi suspected to be the causal agents of Dieback disease (new disease on oil palm) were identified and confirmed based on the morphological identifcation, the pathogens believed to be of different genera but closely related. The isolates were identifed from 22 oil palm plots and were grouped into 5 groups. Group 4 (Gp4) consist of isolates from palm plot: "OPF1, K38A and K28A-1", characterised with pure threadlike stranded mycelia which turn black when aging but remain white underneath, produce fork/palmate black and thin fruiting bodies.
