English Abstract

A study was conducted to examine the effect of pH on growth of oil palm seedlings and basal stem rot disease incidence in Ganoderma inoculated plants.

Total of 120 Ganoderma infected rubber wood blocks were allocated to four treatments (pH 5, 6, 7, and Control).

Each treatment was replicated three times (10 plants per replicate).

The results showed that disease incidence increased significantly from week 8 to 16 after inoculation with lower disease severity in the treated seedlings compared to control.

Inoculated plants had lower growth, top, root dry weights and biomass yields per plant.

The pH6G+ group appeared to have the lowest uptake for P, K, and Mg++, whereas pH6G- has a greater uptake of N, P, Ca++, and Mg++.

The pH5G+ displayed greater top dry weight while pH6G- showed lowest top dry weight per plant.

In conclusion, pH levels reduced the growth and development of Ganoderma in oil palm seedlings
