Innoculation was carried out with a drop on the surface on opposite sides of the pod, at a point near the widest circumference; each drop of the suspension was a concentration of approximately 24000 zoospores/ml. Innoculated fruit were covered in a plastic box which contained 10ml of distilled water in the bottom to maintain an atmosphere of high relative humidity. Evaluation of the results took place six days after innoculation. The size of the mark was taken as an average diameter from the point of infection.

Notes

Trinidad - CRU, University of the West Indies Datafile: DIS_PHDS - Disease reaction to Phytophthora STOMA_DS - Leaf/Fruit Anatomical Characteristics Germplasm: Information on 12 clones grown in the ICG,T. Environment: See details given for TTO - ICG,T Descriptors. Descriptors: Characteristics of the stomata, surface wax, exocarp and mesocarp hardness, exocarp and endocarp thickness of the pod are described in relation to infection by Phytophthora. Experimental Conditions: Each clone was represented by 15 trees at the ICG,T. Fully grown unripe pods were used. The multiple point inoculation method was used to assess frequency of lesions. A drop of inoculum (4 micro litres) was applied using a micro pipette at 10 points along the ridges of the surface of detached pods, with a zoospore concentration of 30,000 per ml. The control treatments recieved sterile distilled water. The pods were arranged in a completely randomised design with 5 replications in plastic trays lined with moist paper towels and covered with another plastic tray. The trays were enclosed in plastic bags and incubated at 25 degrees C. After 72 hours frequency of lesions was assessed based on the mean of successful inoculation points observed. Four trials were conducted. For stab inoculation a standard injury was created on the pod surface using 20 pins penetrating to a depth of 3mm. Inoculation followed Sreenivasan (1985) placing a 4mm. diameter disc of filter paper immersed in a zoospore suspension 200,000 per ml on the wound and covering with a spot plaster. Controls were treated with sterile distilled water. Pods were arranged in completely randomised design with 5 replications per clone and incubated at 25 degrees C. in trays lined with moist tissue paper and covered with plastic film. After 5 days the area of the established lesion was determined by transcribing the outline of the lesion onto brown paper and the area of the cuttings determined by a leaf area meter. The experiment was conducted twice. Data collected was subjected to square root transformation and analysis of variance to determine significance. Character data: Immature pod, stomatal pore length: 10 pods were assessed at five points per pod for each clone. Mature pod, thickness of exocarp on ridge: each pod was measured at 5 points on the ridge. 10 pods were assessed per clone.

Environment: See details given for TTO - ICG,T Descriptors. Descriptors: Characteristics of the stomata, surface wax, exocarp and mesocarp hardness, exocarp and endocarp thickness of the pod are described in relation to infection by Phytophthora. Experimental Conditions: Each clone was represented by 15 trees at the ICG,T. Fully grown unripe pods were used. The multiple point inoculation method was used to assess frequency of lesions. A drop of inoculum (4 micro litres) was applied using a micro pipette at 10 points along the ridges of the surface of detached pods, with a zoospore concentration of 30,000 per ml. The control treatments recieved sterile distilled water. The pods were arranged in a completely randomised design with 5 replications in plastic trays lined with moist paper towels and covered with another plastic tray. The trays were enclosed in plastic bags and incubated at 25 degrees C. After 72 hours frequency of lesions was assessed based on the mean of successful inoculation points observed. Four trials were conducted. For stab inoculation a standard injury was created on the pod surface using 20 pins penetrating to a depth of 3mm. Inoculation followed Sreenivasan (1985) placing a 4mm. diameter disc of filter paper immersed in a zoospore suspension 200,000 per ml on the wound and covering with a spot plaster. Controls were treated with sterile distilled water. Pods were arranged in completely randomised design with 5 replications per clone and incubated at 25 degrees C. in trays lined with moist tissue paper and covered with plastic film.

Notes

Costa Rica - CATIE Datafile: DIS_PHDS - Disease reaction to Phytophthora ABSTRACT Screening of the CATIE collection for resistance to Phytophthora palmivora was initiated, using point-inoculation with zoospore suspension of unwounded attached pods to evaluate cultivar response. Of the 51 cultivars tested, 9 showed a promising degree of resistance; EET 59, EET 376, POUND 7, UF 713, UF 715, SCAVINA 6, SCAVINA 12, CATONGO, DIAMANTES 800. METHOD The inoculation method used was point inoculation with standard zoospore suspension of attached pods without wounding as described by Lawrence, 1978b [LAW78B]. Pods of known age, one month before maturity were used and whenever possible only one or two pods were selected from each tree. Ten replicate pods per cultivar were inoculated and when sufficient pods were available each cultivar was tested on at least two different occasions. Both percentage successful infection and average lesion diameters were recorded, the latter when lesion sizes on pods of UF 677, a standard, highly susceptible cultivar included in all tests, attained an average diameter of 6 cm. When cultivars were tested twice or more, percentage infection and average lesion diameters were calculated from the sum of all inoculated pods. The same single-sporangium P. palmivora isolate (morphological form 1, compatibility type A2), selected on the basis of pathogenicity on pods, was used in all tests. To maintain infective potential, the isolate was passed through pod tissue every 1-2 months. Zoospore suspensions at a concentration of 2 x 10 to the power of 5 spores/ml were prepared as described in Lawrence, 1978b [LAW78B]. All tests were carried out between April and December, a period which encompassed peaks in P. palmivora incidence and which coincided with the times of higher pod production and greatest rainfall. Disease - Phytophthora palmivora, P. megakarya Local Names: Black Pod, Podredumbre negra, Pourriture Brune, Podridao parda.

In addition, limited information on a further 119 clones is given. This germplasm is mainly of Latin American origin, including the United Fruit clones, UF, and genotypes from Mexico and Brazil. Environment: Each clone is represented in the collection by up to 10 trees planted in a single row. Spacing is usually 2m within the row and 3m between the rows, although parts of the collection are planted in a 2.2 x 2.2m grid. Fertilizer, N-P-K-Mg/Ca in the ratio 18:10:6:5, is applied four times a year at 150g per tree. Shade is provided in most of the collection by an almost complete closed cover of trees of Erythrina poepiggiana and Inga spp. spaced at 12 x 12m. Character data: Seed dry weight: sample is dried for 1.5 h at 130°C and cooled in a desiccator. Seed length, seed width, seed thickness: average of 5 seeds from 20 fruits. Fruit, wall thickness at ridge: fruits are transversally sectioned and the soft endocarp tissue removed. Fruit, ridge pair separation: mean ratio of the distance between ridges within a pair and the distances between the ridges of two different pairs. Leaf, flush colour: measured when leaves are 5cm long. Producitvity: values are given as: 1=very low - c. 40 pods harvested over 3 years; 3=low, 5=intermediate - c. 40 pods obtained from 3-4 harvests over 1 year; 7=high, 9=very high - c. 40 pods harvested at one time.

Notes

Malaysia - FELDA, Pusat Perkhidmatan Pertanian Tun Razak, Peninsula Malaysia Datafile: FELDA_DC MYS - Felda PPPTR Germplasm: Agronomic and morphological characteristics of some of the clones held at Pusat Perkhidmatan Pertanian Tun Razak. The clones were obtained from the Malaysian Cocoa Growers Council Joint Importation Scheme, MARDI and the Department of Agriculture, Peninsular Malaysia. Environment: The clones are planted in single plots of 18 plants/clone (6x3) at Pusat Perkhidmatan Pertanian Tun Razak, Sg. Tekam in inland Peninsular Malaysia. The clones were planted as they were obtained and therefore are of varying age. Character data: Seed dry weight: corrected to 6% moisture after oven drying at 105'C for 24 hours.

In addition, limited information on a further 119 clones is given. This germplasm is mainly of Latin American origin, including the United Fruit clones, UF, and genotypes from Mexico and Brazil. Environment: Each clone is represented in the collection by up to 10 trees planted in a single row. Spacing is usually 2m within the row and 3m between the rows, although parts of the collection are planted in a 2.2 x 2.2m grid. Fertilizer, N-P-K-Mg/Ca in the ratio 18:10:6:5, is applied four times a year at 150g per tree. Shade is provided in most of the collection by an almost complete closed cover of trees of Erythrina poepiggiana and Inga spp. spaced at 12 x 12m. Character data: Seed dry weight: sample is dried for 1.5 h at 130°C and cooled in a desiccator. Seed length, seed width, seed thickness: average of 5 seeds from 20 fruits. Fruit, wall thickness at ridge: fruits are transversally sectioned and the soft endocarp tissue removed. Fruit, ridge pair separation: mean ratio of the distance between ridges within a pair and the distances between the ridges of two different pairs. Leaf, flush colour: measured when leaves are 5cm long. Producitvity: values are given as: 1=very low - c. 40 pods harvested over 3 years; 3=low, 5=intermediate - c. 40 pods obtained from 3-4 harvests over 1 year; 7=high, 9=very high - c. 40 pods harvested at one time.

Flower descriptor data is presented for 620 clones, fruit descriptor data of 333 and seed characters of 118 clones are partly described. Leaf descriptor data is presented for 229 clones. The germplasm is mainly of Peruvian, Ecuadorian and Colombian origin. Environment: Each clone is represented in the collection by up to 16 trees planted 1.8 m apart in a block design. Shading is provided by Erythrina sp. (spaced 60m apart) and bananas (spaced 4m apart). Fertilizer, N-P-K (15:10:5), is provided twice a year at 250g per tree. Cyclic irrigation is performed from February to May (10 l of water per plant/week). Soil type group -33 A 1 Soil Series - Cunupia fine sandy clay with restricted internal drainage Lithology - silty clay alluvium Drainage - imperfect Slope category - 0°-2° Meterological data are given in this table as mean maximum, mean minimum and overall mean temperature and mean total rainfall per month over the period 1961-1990.

Where descriptor states present real measurements, e.g. pod length in cm, the data are given as the mean of all the measurements ± the standard deviation. For some descriptors, such as Leaf, flush colour, the phenotypic expression of the character is coded on a scale from 0 to 9. On this scale '0' represents the lowest or weakest expression of a characteristic and '9' represents the highest or strongest. Leaf and Flower Characteristics p.300-307
