{"product_id":"ganoderma-diseases-of-tropical-crops-9781800620766","title":"Ganoderma Diseases of Tropical Crops","description":"The fungal genus \u003ci\u003eGanoderma \u003c\/i\u003eincludes around 80 currently recognized species that are widely distributed in temperate, subtropical and tropical regions, and cause disease in a range of economically important perennial crops and tree-like plants. \u003ci\u003eGanoderma \u003c\/i\u003eroot and lower stem rots have a significant impact on yields from crops including oil palm, coconut, beverage crops, \u003ci\u003eAcacia\u003c\/i\u003e and rubber. The identification of species responsible for stem and butt rots is often ambiguous as closely related species may only be distinguished by subtle morphological differences. Within species there can be considerable morphological plasticity and this can make morphology-based identification difficult, particularly for species described from a single specimen. Molecular techniques are helping to slowly resolve \u003ci\u003eGanoderma\u003c\/i\u003e taxonomy but it will be some time (if ever) before the taxonomy is fully resolved. This book brings together information on Ganoderma species that are reported to be responsible for crop diseases in tropical and sub-tropical agriculture and covers taxonomy, biology, genetics, aetiology, epidemiology and control. This book is an essential resource for researchers in \u003ci\u003eGanoderma\u003c\/i\u003e in crop science and tropical agriculture, as well as practitioners and industry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carmel A.
