Studies of Fungal Infection on Foot Rot Diseases of Black Pepper (Piper nigrum L.)
Black pepper (Piper nigrum L.), the King of Spices is one of the most important spice crops cultivated in Sarawak. The cultivation and production of black pepper is limited by many diseases of which foot rot disease caused by Phytophthora capsici is the most important and serious disease. All parts...
