Abstract
Experiments to study the transmission of coconut root (wilt) disease under normal environmental conditions, employing mechanical inoculation (with leaf and root extracts, partially purified preparations, root exudates and soil suspension), soil transmission, leachates and insect feeding were conducted on 22,160 plants of 170 species and cultivars belonging to 30 families. Impatients balsamina, Lycopersicon esculentum cult. San Marzano, and Physalis minima showed very low percentage of infection when mechanically inoculated with diseased leaf extracts. Plants which were earlier reported as suspects did not show any symptoms in these trials. Cowpea (Vigna sinensis Endl.) reported earlier as an indicator host also failed to show symptoms consistently.
