Respuesta frente a Phytophthora palmivora (Butl.) Butl. en accesiones de cacao en la Estación Experimental Agro-Forestal Baracoa, Cuba1
Main Article Content
Abstract
With the objective of determining the answer forehead of Phytophthora palmivora of 30 accession of cocoa of the germplasm bench of the Estación Experimental Agro-Forestal of Baracoa the following work was developed, in the period understood among April to December of 2018, on a totally randomized design with 10 repetitions. Initially corn affected by the disease in the field were recollected, which were transferred to the laboratory and small portions of them were sowed in petri badges with cultivation medium Agar V8, traditionally used for the growth of this pathogen, at 20 days later got ready the inoculum and 10 healthy fruits of each accession were infested under field conditions (stuck to the plants), to which were placed two disks of filter paper, submerged in the previously upset suspension of spores, in opposed sides to the “equator” of the fruit (up and under the center of the fruit), and these were protected by a period of 10 days, inside a bag of nylon semi transparent, with a cotton humidified in 50 ml of distilled water. The qualitative results showed that 20 % of the accession was resistant, 27 % moderately resistant, 17 % moderately susceptible and 36 % susceptible to Phytophthora palmivora (Butl) Butl. The severity of the disease was very high, being destroyed the inoculated fruits of 91 % of the susceptible accessions completely.
