Abstract

The genus Ravenea belongs to a group of solitary, dioecious palms. Among its numerous species, R. rivularis is the most diversified and attractive palm species, widely grown for interiorscape and outdoor beautification. Foliage diseases, which became more severe in recent years, represent significant limiting factors causing economic losses and decreasing the high aesthetic value of plants. The frequency and nature of foliage diseases largely depend on local conditions. Accurate detection, identification and quantification of etiological agents, thorough the knowledge of pathosystems, pathogens biology, ecology and epidemiology, are of paramount significance in disease prevention and control. In this chapter, we focus on R. rivularis leaf spots and leaf blight, important fungal diseases related to diverse etiologies providing comprehensive details about each. This chapter reviews detailed pathogens description, procedures for diagnosis and comprehensive disease management strategies including agronomic practices, cultural, biological and chemical control measures.
