GanoCare® Improves Oil Palm Growth and Resistance against Ganoderma Basal Stem Rot Disease in Nursery and Field Trials

Abstract: Basal stem rot (BSR) caused by Ganoderma boninense is a major threat to sustainable oil palm production especially in Southeast Asia and has brought economic losses to the oil palm industry around the world. With no definitive cure at present, this study introduces a new fertilizer technology called GanoCare®, as an effort to suppress BSR incidence in oil palm. Experiments were carried out to evaluate the effect of GanoCare® on growth, physiology, and BSR disease suppression using sitting technique in the oil … Show more

“…The modified extract was applied to the oil palm seedlings maintained in the greenhouse without fertilizer. The plants were treated with extracts from metabolite compounds of D. esculentum (DE), R. humilis (RE), and pyraclostrobin fungicide, each amounting to a volume of 50 mL (Said et al 2019;Rebitanim et al 2020;Bivi et al 2016). Plants as positive (healthy plant, not inoculated with G. boninense) and negative controls (inoculated with G. boninense but without treatment) were included to perform a comparison (Idris et al 2006).…”

“…Recently, a new fertilizer known as GanoCare ® was formulated from a combination of powdered empty fruit bunches (EFB) with a “beneficial element”, including a higher content of calcium (Ca), silicon (Si), zinc (Zn) and boron (B) [ 109 ]. While the application of this fertilizer significantly reduces the disease incidence by up to 70%, more in-depth studies are needed, specifically to uncover their effect on the biochemical responses of oil palms and the effect on oil production.…”

“…The initial symptoms of BSR in oil palm are visible in the leaves, and this occurs after at least 50% of the cross-sectional area of the stem base has been injured. The rot impedes nutrient and water availability to the aerial regions, resulting in symptoms similar to nutritional imbalance and water stress [91].…”
