Introduction. Black pod disease, caused by Phytophthora megakarya, is one of the major diseases of cocoa that small-scale farmers are facing in West and Central Africa. In Cameroon, severe economic losses in cocoa production, which ranged from 30% to 80% were caused by this disease in all cocoa-growing regions where no proper control measures were applied [1], [2], [3].Although P. megakarya only exists in Africa, the species Phytophthora palmivora and Phytophthora capsici are responsible for the disease in South America. The search for effective control methods was stepped up in 1988, when P. megakarya arrived in Ivory Coast, the world's leading cocoaMolecular and morphological identification of Phytophthora species based on the types and other well-authenticated specimens. IDphy was developed to facilitate accurate and efficient identification of Phytophthora to species, using type specimens from the original descriptions for reference wherever possible.IDphy emphasizes species of high economic impact and species of regulatory concern for ...Phytophthora megakarya Brassier & Griffi n, the causal agent of black pod disease, is now the most important cacao pathogen in Central and West Africa . Losses are reported to be as high as 80% of potential yield in Cameroon, and can reach 100% in Ghana. Although cacao was introduced in Africa from South America, P. megakarya is a diploid ...

Diseases are a major production constraint wherever cocoa (Theobroma cacao) is grown. The principal method of ameliorating cocoa production is the use of hybrid clones, which have resistance to important diseases and high productivity. To select new genotypes with resistance to Phytophtora megakarya, the cause of the destructive black pod disease, …
