    About this ebook

    This is a hands-on, practical guide covering seedling screening for disease response in oil palm for pathology, breeding and genetics. Oil palm is the top oil crop in the world and Ganoderma is the most devastating disease of oil palm. The authors are all actively engaged in oil palm seed production and breeding and bring together the many aspects of seedling disease testing in to one integrated manual.

    Presenting sound practices based on scientific innovation and knowledge, this guide provides techniques integrated with expertise and also looks towards future possibilities. Promoting green, eco-friendly agriculture, this book covers:

    Health and safety considerations
    Media preparation for in vitro culture
    Collecting isolates and culture preparation
    Preparation of Ganoderma inoculum
    Nursery inoculation
    Scoring response

    Based on experience and protocols, this is an invaluable manual for students and researchers in agriculture, plant breeders, growers, traders and production companies interested in the practicalities of oil palm pathology. It provides a resource for training, a knowledge base for people new to oil palm and a reference guide for managers, to ensure best practices in maximising sustainability and production of this important crop.

      Series Foreword – Techniques in Plantation Science

      Verdant Bioscience, Singapore (VBS), is a new company established in October 2013 with a vision to develop high-yielding, high-quality planting material in oil palm and rubber through the application of sound practices based on scientific innovation in plant breeding. The approach is to fuse traditional breeding strategies with the latest methods in biotechnology. These techniques are integrated with expertise and the application of sustainable aspects of agronomy and crop protection, alongside information and imaging technology which not only find relevance in direct aspects of plantation practice but also in selection within the breeding programme. When high-yielding planting material is allied with efficient plantation practices, it leads to what may be termed ‘intensive sustainable’ production. At the same time, the quality of new products is refined to give more specialized uses alongside more commodity-based oil production, thus meeting the market demands of the modern world community, but with a minimal harmful footprint. An essential ingredient in all this is having sound and practical protocols and techniques to allow the realization of the strategies that are envisaged.

      To achieve its aims, VBS acquired an Indonesian company called PT Timbang Deli Indonesia, with an estate of over 970 ha of land at Timbang Deli, Deli Serdang, North Sumatra, Indonesia, and the group works under the name of ‘Verdant’. A central part of this estate, which will be used for important plant nurseries and field trials, is the development of the Verdant Plantation Science Centre (VPSC), to which the operational staff moved in October 2016. A seed production and marketing facility is now established at VPSC for commercial seed sales and the processing of seed from breeding programmes. The centre comprises specialized laboratories in cell biology,
