Moniliophthora roreri is a basidiomycete fungus that causes frosty pod rot disease, one of the most serious problems for cacao (Theobroma cacao— the source of chocolate) production in Latin America.

2021年10月18日 · Frosty pod rot, caused by Moniliophthora roreri, is the most damaging disease of cacao in both Central and Latin American cacao-producing regions.

2012年11月30日 · M. roreri causes the devastating frosty pod rot of cocoa (Theobroma cacao), a disease that commonly reduces yields by over 80% within a few years of pathogen establishment. The severe losses, and occaisionally complete crop failure, frequently render cocoa production economically unfeasible.

Frosty pod rot (FPR) is a disease of cocoa caused by the fungus Moniliophthora roreri, which develops only on the pods of Theobroma sp. (cocoa) and Herrania sp. The disease was originally confined to Central and South America until it was confirmed in Jamaica in August, 2016.

2022年10月4日 · Cultural control is the central pillar of any integrated frosty pod rot management. Diseased pods have to be removed from cocoa trees before the pathogen sporulates on these pods.

Frosty pod rot (FPR) is caused by Moniliophthora roreri (Mr) (Evans, 2016a). Mr attacks pods in a hemibiotrophic association. Initial infections appear symptomless, apart from tissue swelling in some cases.

2017年6月1日 · Frosty Pod Rot, caused by Moniliophthora roreri (Cif. & Par.) & Par.) Evans et al. (1986), is considered the main pathogenic factor affecting the cocoa crops in Colombia and in other Central and South America countries.

2007年11月14日 · Moniliophthora roreri, the cause of frosty pod rot (FP), is a specialized fungal pathogen (family Marasmiaceae) that invades only actively growing pods of cacao, Theobroma cacao, and related species of Theobroma and Herrania. FP damages pods and the commercially important seeds that some of these species produce.

2017年6月1日 · Frosty Pod Rot, caused by Moniliophthora roreri (Cif. & Par.) Evans, (1986), is considered the most important cause of low production levels of cocoa crops not only in Colombia but also in Central and South American countries.

Frosty pod rot, caused by Moniliophthora roreri, is the most damaging disease of cacao in both Central and Latin American cacao-producing regions. The high aggressiveness and eficient dispersion of M. roreri as well as the lack of efective control strategies for managing frosty pod rot are responsible for its devastating efect in cacao plantations.
