Abstract:Basal stem rot (BSR) disease caused by species of Ganoderma is of immense importance in oil palm production.Although much is known on the occurrence of this devastating disease, fundamental studies on the ecology in oil palm in plantations are rather limited. This study sought to determine the incidence, severity, distribution and spread pattern of BSR disease in oil palm plantations and relate disease parameters to climatic and edaphic factors. Surveys were carried out for two years on two-hectare plots in each of five oil palm estates of the Cameroon Development Corporation. Data for disease incidence and severity in each estate were recorded. Disease spread patterns were generated from Arc GIS version 9.3 using GIS coordinates of diseased plants. A correlation between disease parameters and soil physicochemical properties and multivariate analyses were done. Typical BSR disease symptoms were observed including unopened spear leaves, skirt-like appearance of leaves, basidiocarp formation, bole creation and death of the palm. The disease incidence ranged from 5.4% in 16-year old palms at Bota to 39.0% in palms of the same age in Mungo were about 50% of infected plants had extreme severe symptoms. Although principal component analysis showed that six soil properties account for variation in BSR disease incidence and severity, only fine sand content was positively correlated (P≤0.05) with disease incidence and severity, while C/N ratio was negatively correlated. This study has established the occurrence and spread of basal stem rot disease in five oil palm plantations in South Western Cameroon.

“…Previous studies indicated that banana wilt disease caused by inadequate soil management seriously decreased soil pH, total organic C, alkaline N and available K, Ca, Mg, B and Zn, and increased soil compaction (Dominguez et al, 2003;Nasir et al,2003). Sharma et al (2010) observed that the optimum living environments for Fusarium oxysporum correlated with serious disturbance conditions such as low pH, low organic matters and deficient nutrients.…”

Effects of banana wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (FOC) on soil nematode community composition were investigated in Hainan province China. The results show that 31 nematode genera in the disease and control regions were identified. The disease area was mainly dominated by Acrobeles, Acrobeloides, Chiloplacus and Aphelenchus, while Pelodera, Protorhabditis, Ditylenchus and Basiria dominated in the control area. Paratylenchus was the dominant genus in both areas. The abundance of total nematodes, bacterivore (10 to 30 cm), plant parasites and omnivorespredators, the values of diversity (H′), maturity index (MI), plant parasite index (PPI), structure index (SI), enrichment index (EI), soil pH, the contents of total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP) and alkaline nitrogen (AN) in the disease area were significantly lower (P < 0.01) than in the control. However, those of fungivores (10 to 20 cm) and dominance (λ) exhibited quite a reverse result. In the disease area, the abundance of total nematodes and bacterivore decreased (P < 0.01) and plant parasites increased (P<0.01) with the increase of soil depth. The values of SI increased (P <0.01) with the increase of soil depth in the disease and control areas in 0 to 20 cm. The results indicate that FOC changed soil nematode community characteristics and decreased diversity of soil nematode community.

“…Several studies around the world revealed strong correlation of the disease with different soil physico-chemical properties like organic carbon (OC), soil pH, soil texture, electrical conductivity, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content of ginger growing soil. Literatures on effect of soil physico-chemical properties on incidence of rhizome rot of ginger is limited except the works of Sharma et al, (2010) and Debnath et al, (2011) and Kim et al, (2012). Sharma et al, (2010) reported a negative correlation of soil pH and organic carbon with rhizome rot incidence and these two factors may appear as the most effective associative factors influencing the disease incidence.…”

“…Production of ginger, however, is largely affected by diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses, Rhizome rot of ginger is both seed (rhizome) and soil borne disease and soil plays an important role in the disease incidence and severity. Soil physic-chemical properties play an important role in disease severity (Sharma et al, 2010 andKim et al, 2012). Several studies around the world revealed strong correlation of the disease with different soil physico-chemical properties like organic carbon (OC), soil pH, soil texture, electrical conductivity, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content of ginger growing soil.…”
