Teak (Tectona grandis) decay associated with Verticillium sp. and Fomes sp. within reforestation areas in Côte d'Ivoire

Teak (Tectona grandis) occupies a significant place for reforestation in Cote d’Ivoire. Recently, there has been a resurgence of withering in different forestry areas, which represents a serious threat to the profitability and survival of forest plantations.

Teak (Tectona grandis) decay associated with Verticillium sp. and Fomes sp. within reforestation areas in Côte d'Ivoire
description Teak (Tectona grandis) occupies a significant place for reforestation in Cote d’Ivoire. Recently, there has been a resurgence of withering in different forestry areas, which represents a serious threat to the profitability and survival of forest plantations. A study has been undertaken to resolve this problem. Plant samples were collected from the trunk (bark, sapwood and central cylinder) and the roots for fungal microflora analysis through in vitro cultures to identify the causative agent of the decay of healthy trees. Sixteen different fungal genera were selected, including two species responsible for teak disease: Verticillium sp. with 82% and 98% frequencies and Fomes sp. with 79% and 60% frequencies, respectively in the roots and trunks of the diseased teaks. The presence of fungi was recorded as Verticillium sp. in 30% of diseased trees, Fomes sp. in 7.5% and all species combined in 70.5% of the cases.
