“…Diseases represent a significant threat to E. guineensis cultivation, with various fungal, bacterial, and viral pathogens causing substantial yield losses. Fusarium wilt and BSR disease are among the most prevalent diseases affecting E. guineensis plantations worldwide [16,17]. Koussinou et al investigated Fusarium wilt disease in E. guineensis and explored alternative control measures to mitigate its impact [50].…”

“…In terms of diseases, the Fusarium wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. elaeidis (FOE) significantly affects E. guineensis cultivation, leading to substantial yield losses and economic setbacks [16]. Another significant threat is the Ganoderma basal stem rot (BSR) disease caused by Ganoderma boninense, which induces gradual decay of the palm's vascular system, resulting in reduced productivity and, ultimately, E. guineensis mortality [16,17].…”

“…Pesticides, including insecticides and herbicides, have been utilized to combat insect pests such as Elaeidobius kamerunicus Faust and Asystasia gangetica weed [22,23], which are known to cause huge losses in E. guineensis oil production. Fungicides have also been applied to control diseases like Fusarium wilt and Ganoderma BSR, which threaten E. guineensis health and productivity [16,24]. However, dependence solely on chemical pesticides has raised concerns regarding environmental pollution, human health risks, and the development of pesticide resistance in target pests and pathogens [25][26][27].…”

Among major edible oilseeds, oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) stands out as a versatile tropical crop, globally recognized for its high productivity, versatility, and broad range of applications. However, E. guineensis plantations, particularly in tropical regions, face numerous pressures from a wide range of pests, including insects, pathogens, and vertebrate pests. Conventional pest control methods relying mainly on chemicals have raised serious concerns regarding environmental pollution, human health risks, and the development of pesticide resistance in target pests and pathogens. To address these issues, sustainable pest management, comprising integrated pest management strategies, can be augmented with precise agriculture technologies, including remote sensing and GPS-guided equipment for targeted pesticide application, and effective stakeholder engagement. This chapter aims to (1) outline major pest management challenges in E. guineensis plantations; (2) introduce the concepts and principles of precision farming and its application in pest management; (3) discuss the major applications of sensor technology, GPS, and remote sensing for pest monitoring; (4) emphasize the significance of stakeholder collaboration in integrated pest management; and (5) identify aspects that have been least explored in the current context.

“…One of the most notorious examples is G. boninense , which causes the devastating basal stem rot disease in oil palm plantations [ 49 , 50 ]. This pathogen infects the lower stem of oil palm trees, leading to the decay of the vascular tissues and eventual tree death [ 51 ]. In addition to oil palm, Ganoderma species have also been reported as pathogens in other economically important crops, causing severe diseases such as stem, butt, and root rot, especially in tropical countries [ 52 , 53 ].…”

Phytopathogenic Ganoderma species pose a significant threat to global plant health, resulting in estimated annual economic losses exceeding USD (US Dollars) 68 billion in the agriculture and forestry sectors worldwide. To combat this pervasive menace effectively, a comprehensive understanding of the biology, ecology, and plant infection mechanisms of these pathogens is imperative. This comprehensive review critically examines various aspects of Ganoderma spp., including their intricate life cycle, their disease mechanisms, and the multifaceted environmental factors influencing their spread. Recent studies have quantified the economic impact of Ganoderma infections, revealing staggering yield losses ranging from 20% to 80% across various crops. In particular, oil palm plantations suffer devastating losses, with an estimated annual reduction in yield exceeding 50 million metric tons. Moreover, this review elucidates the dynamic interactions between Ganoderma and host plants, delineating the pathogen’s colonization strategies and its elicitation of intricate plant defense responses. This comprehensive analysis underscores the imperative for adopting an integrated approach to Ganoderma disease management. By synergistically harnessing cultural practices, biological control, and chemical treatments and by deploying resistant plant varieties, substantial strides can be made in mitigating Ganoderma infestations. Furthermore, a collaborative effort involving scientists, breeders, and growers is paramount in the development and implementation of sustainable strategies against this pernicious plant pathogen. Through rigorous scientific inquiry and evidence-based practices, we can strive towards safeguarding global plant health and mitigating the dire economic consequences inflicted by Ganoderma infections.
