Abstract

The objectives of this work were to determine the presence of phytopathogens in important producing areas of Sacha Inchi (Plukenetia volubilis L.) in Cuba and provide some observations of their severity and degree of the crop infestation. The soil and root samples analyzed were from plantations in three different areas of the western region, two from the province of Mayabeque and one from Pinar del Rio. In the field, areas of poorly developed and dead plants were found. The roots of these plants showed several damages, such as corky areas even up to the level of the plant neck, scarce secondary system, galls of variable size, and, in occasions, tumors with or without necrosis. The phytosanitary diagnosis allowed the detection of the nematode species Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White) Chitwood, Meloidogyne arenaria (Neal) Chitwood, Trichodorus spp., Helicotylenchus dihystera (Cobb) Sher, Aphelenchoides bicaudatus (Inamura), Tylenchorhynchus spp., and Xiphinema spp., predominating M. incognita. The fungi Fusarium spp. and Lasiodiplodia spp. was also observed. The combined effect of the Meloidogyne-Fusarium complex damaged Sacha Inchi seriously with important consequences for its production.
