商品簡介
Lethal yellowing has killed millions of coconut palms in Latin America and the Caribbean alone and poses a worldwide threat to the cash and subsistence crop that is vital to much of the tropics. Twenty papers from a November 1993 international symposium in the Yucatan, Mexico present the latest basic and empirical research on the disease. They review its history and features, diagnosis and detection, control through integrated pest management, genetic resources and improvement, in vitro tissue culture, and steps the industry can take as a whole.
