| dc.description.abstract | Root (wilt) disease of coconut is a non-lethal but debilitating malady affecting the productivity of the crop. The etiology of the disease was not known for over a century. But recent studies have ruled out the involvement of biological agents such as fungi, bacteria, nematodes and viruses and nutritional and physiological factors in the etiology of the disease. Constant association of mycoplasma-like organisms with the disease has been established. The vector role of lace bug has been confirmed through transmission experiment and other direct and indirect evidences gathered. The disease also could be experimentally transmitted to periwinkle, a known mycoplasmal indicator host through the dodder laurel Cassytha fdiformis. Remissioni of symptoms obtained in Oxytetracycline treated palms added additional proof for mycoplasmal etiology of the coconut root (wilt) disease. | en_US |
