Abstract

Research on the development of Ganoderma tolerance for oil palm planting materials was initiated by breeders and crop protectionists in 2005 to provide an alternative for the control of basal stem rot BSR the most important disease in Malaysia and Indonesia. A total of 40 progenies and six clones have been screened in four different trials with one standard control SC3. From two completed trials the Felda Progeny KA4 was identified as the most tolerant progeny with lowest white mycelium and fruiting body 27.5/79 below SC3. The lowest severity of foliar symptoms SFS at 21.4 or 77 below SC3 lowest stem bulb tissue SBT infected 0.7 cm2/33 below SC3 and lowest of primary root infection PRI at 2.2 or 55 below SC3 was also shown by Progeny KA4. As progeny KA4 was selected from advanced introgressed breeding materials this particular progeny is expected to perform well for FFB and oil yield performance in the field. More comprehensive testing to confirm the Ganoderma tolerant levels will need to be carried out. The results from these screenings may lead to the release of Ganoderma tolerant progenies in the near future.
