Decay of rubber wood in a replanting and its effect on root disease
Material type:
TextPublication details: Journal of the Rubber Research Institute of Malaysia 1967Description: 1-JulSubject(s): Summary: A field experiment, of 2 rise to 5 factorial design, was undertaken to study factors affecting the rate of decay of poisoned trees or stumps of Hevea brasiliensis, half of which were artificially inoculated with Fomes lignosus, and the resulting root disease on the replanted stand. Poisoning with 2,4,5-T caused faster decay than with sodium arsenite and the presence of F. lignosus accelerated the decay of the roots. Despite and extremely high rate of infection of the young trees consequent on the artificial infection of the old stand, routine treatment and supplying gave a substantially disease-free planting, without eradicating sources of infection except as required for sampling. A legume cover greatly reduced the incidence of infection and losses.
