Shaharudin Saamin, . and Hashim Bakar, . (1993) Citrus cultivars rediscovered - tolerant to greening disease. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
In the mid-60's there was an upsurge of citrus cultivation in Malaysia. By 1970 there were 3 670 ha planted with citrus by individual growers as well as in collective schemes. However by 1980 almost 1 000 ha were decimated by diseases one of which was probably citrus greening disease. This disease was only confirmed present in Malaysia in 1989 Lim et al. 1990. The disease remains the major stumbling block to a healthy and continued growth of our citrus industry and so in 40 other countries in the world. The growers in the East coast have known very well the devastating effect of greening disease and they aptly called it as 'penyakit dun inai' because the leaves of severely affected trees resemble that of senna leaves in shape and size. To be independent of imports Malaysia by the year 2000 needs to grow 14 000 ha citrus to cater for a population of 25 million at a consumption level of 10 kg/capita per year
