| Abstract: | Thirty-three Phytophthora meadii isolates were obtained from different Hevea brasiliensisclones grown in different climatic regions in Sri Lanka. Growth, morphology and pathogenicity of the isolates were compared. Growth and pathogenicity levels varied among the isolates. Some isolates obtained from moderately susceptible rubber clones were highly pathogenic, compared to isolates obtained from resistant clones. Highly pathogenic isolates produced a higher number of sporangia on agar at 27 ± 2°C. It was impossible to group isolates according to the clone or the region from where they were obtained.This revised version was published online in October 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date. |
