日前,笔者从中国热带农业科学院获悉,经过十多年的研究,该院专家首次确定了槟榔黄化病病原为植原体,并在国内外首次建立了槟榔黄化病快速检测技术,为海南槟榔黄化病综合防治研究提供了技术支撑和理论依据。槟榔种植业是该省热带作物产业中的第二大支柱产业,种植面积近130万亩。近年来黄化病的流行,威胁槟榔产业的健康发展,据2008年调查,全省染病面积已达4万亩以上,平均发病率约40%。据该院环植所研究员罗大全介绍,该病在海南发现的时间是上世纪80年代,长时间没有找到发病原因,缺乏科学有 Recently, I learned from the Chinese Academy of Tropical Agriculture, after more than 10 years of research, the hospital experts for the first time identified betel yellowing disease pathogens of phytoplasma, and for the first time at home and abroad to establish betelnut yellow disease rapid detection technology for the Hainan areca The comprehensive prevention and treatment of yellow disease provides technical support and theoretical basis. Areca cultivation is the second largest pillar industry in the province’s tropical crop industry, with an acreage of nearly 1.3 million mu. In recent years, the prevalence of yellowing disease threatens the healthy development of areca industry. According to the survey in 2008, the province’s infected area has reached more than 40,000 mu with an average incidence of about 40%. According to the Institute of Circulation Institute researcher Luo Daquan introduced the disease found in Hainan in the 1980s, the long time did not find the cause of the disease, the lack of scientific
