Differential Strain-Specific Responses of Trichoderma spp. in Mycoparasitism, Chitinase Activity, and Volatiles Production Against Moniliophthora spp. [PDF]
MicroorganismsMoniliophthora roreri (MR, frosty pod rot) and M. perniciosa (MP, witches’ broom disease) pose critical threats to cacao production in Latin America. This study explores the biocontrol potential of Trichoderma spp. strains against these pathogens through

Frosty Pod Rot Disease: reducing the risk of its introduction to the ICGT [PDF]
, 2017 Frosty Pod Rot disease caused by the basidiomycete Moniliophthora roreri is the most devastating disease of cocoa (Theobroma cacao). This disease, which targets only the pods, can reduce yields by over 80% within a few years after pathogen establishment. In recent years FPR has invaded the last hold ‐ outs in Mesoamerica.

Genome-Wide Analysis of Moniliophthora roreri Facilitates the Development of Species-Specific Primers for Biomonitoring Frosty Pod Rot of Cacao [PDF]
PhytoFrontiers™Detecting pathogens in asymptomatic plants allows for a rapid response to emerging threats, such as the introduction of new pathogens or the emergence of new resistant strains. Frosty pod rot ( Moniliophthora roreri) significantly jeopardizes cacao production by impairing pod quality and yield.

SNP markers associated with resistance to frosty pod and black pod rot diseases in an F1 population of Theobroma cacao L. [PDF]
Tree Genetics & Genomes, 2021 AbstractEconomically, cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) is a major tropical commodity for the Americas; however, severe losses due to Moniliophthora roreri (Cif. and Par.), which causes frosty pod rot (FPR), and Phytophthora spp., which causes black pod rot (BPR), have reduced cacao production in the Americas.
