How to identify this disease
Phytophthora palmivora is a pathogen which can be spread by soil, water and wind.
•
Use large planting material (LPM) resistant clones.
•
Use planting material from a certified source to ensure that it is disease-free.
•
Establish good drainage since Phytohthora prefers moist conditions:
•
Plant in raised beds on flat to semi-flat land.
•
Construct drainage channels so that excess water can drain away.
•
Space plants 8 x 8 m apart for medium-sized canopy varieties or 10 x 10 m apart for spreading canopy varieties so that the canopy does not overlap and create humid conditions.
•
Prune the lowest branches to prevent the build up of humid conditions.
•
Apply organic fertilizer such as organic waste (e.g. chicken dung) to improve tree health and resilience to disease.
•
Apply lime to acidic soils to maintain a soil pH of 5.5-6.5. Apply lime within 30 cm of the soil surface radius of 1 m.
•
Avoid mechanical damage to the stems as injury makes plants more susceptible to disease.
•
Harvest manually or tie bags to branches to allow for natural fruit fall. Do not allow fruit to fall to the ground in order to avoid damage
