TL;DR: Soil application of biocontrol agents in combination with chitin induced a significant increase in the activities of peroxidase (PO), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), chit inase and b-1,3-glucanase in coconut palms infected with Ganoderma lucidum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid detection of Ganoderma disease of coconut and assessment of inhibition effect of various control measures by immunoassay and PCR
M. Karthikeyan,K. Radhika,R. Bhaskaran,S. Mathiyazhagan,Ramasamy Samiyappan,Rethinasamy Velazhahan +5 more
TL;DR: Based on the ELISA results, Pseudomonas fluorescens + Trichoderma viride with chitin amended treatments arrested the multiplication of the pathogen and within 6 months showed an optical density below the level of infected plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and comparison of ELISA and PCR methods for the early detection of Ganoderma disease of coconut
M. Karthikeyan,R. Bhaskaran,K. Radhika,S. Mathiyazhagan,V. Jayakumar,R. Sandosskumar,Rethinasamy Velazhahan +6 more
TL;DR: Molecular diagnosis, chemo-diagnosis and physiological parameter have been applied for detecting the Ganoderma disease of coconut and utility of this method was confirmed at the field level.
Journal ArticleDOI
