Factors Affecting the Dynamics of Frosty Pod Rot in the Main Cocoa Areas of Santander State, Colombia [PDF]

Plant Disease, 2019
Frosty pod rot (FPR) caused by Moniliophthora roreri is the primary disease affecting cacao production in the major producing countries of the Americas and is one of the major threats to cacao worldwide. The incidence of FPR on clones with different levels of resistance was investigated in four localities of Santander State, Colombia, between July ...

Shade Tree Spatial Structure and Pod Production Explain Frosty Pod Rot Intensity in Cacao Agroforests, Costa Rica [PDF]

Phytopathology®, 2014
Vegetation composition and plant spatial structure affect disease intensity through resource and microclimatic variation effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the independent effect and relative importance of host composition and plant spatial structure variables in explaining disease intensity at the plot scale.

Selecting cacao clones with high productivity potential and tolerance to Black Pod Rot (Phytophthora sp.) and Frosty Pod Rot (Moniliophthora roreri) [PDF]

Journal of Plant Protection Research
Cacao (Theobroma cacao) is significantly impacted each year by Frosty Pod Rot (FPR) caused by Moniliophthora roreri and Black Pod Rot (BPR) caused by Phytophthora species. The losses from these diseases pose a severe threat to cacao production worldwide.
