  • Preliminary Investigation on Weligama Coconut Leaf Wilt Disease: a New Disease in Southern Sri Lanka
    Preliminary Investigation on Weligama Coconut Leaf Wilt Disease: A New Disease in Southern Sri Lanka H.T.R. Wijesekara*, L. Perera, I.R. Wickramananda, I. Herath, M.K. Meegahakumbura, W.B.S. Fernando and P.H.P.R. de Silva, Coconut Research Institute, Bandirippuwa Estate, Lunuwila 61150. * corresponding author, email: [email protected] ABSTRACT An unusual yellowing of leaflets in coconut palms in the Galle, Hambantota and Matara districts in the Southern Province of Sri Lanka was observed in late 2006. The symptoms associated with affected palms are flattening and downward bending of leaflets, yellowing of lower fronds followed by drying of leaflets starting from the margins. Symptoms resemble that of Kerala wilt disease in India. This condition was first reported from Weligama in Matara district and, hence called the "Weligama Coconut Leaf Wilt Disease" (WCLWD). Analysis of nutrients N, P, K, Ca and Mg in leaflets of affected and healthy palms revealed that, yellowing of leaflets has no relationship with nutrients. DNA extracts of bud leaves subjected to Nested PCR with phytoplasma specific primer pair combinations R16F2n / R16R2 with rU3 / fU5 and R16mF2 /R16R2 with fU5 /rU3 yielded an amplification of 773 base pair product in 3 of 24 palms tested. Sequencing of the PCR product confirmed phytoplasma as the causative agent of WCLWD. The sequence of the WCLWD was compared with the phytoplasma sequences deposited in the NCBI database and WCLWD sequence was found to be 98% similar to sugarcane grassy shoot phytoplasma and sugarcane white leaf phytoplasma. Apart from WCLWD, another fungal disease of coconut leaf rot disease was also observed in the same locations, sometimes in the same palm.

  • Kandy and the Southern Coast 10-Day Journey to Sri Lanka’S Central Highlands and the Southern Coast at Tangalle
    Kandy and the Southern Coast 10-day journey to Sri Lanka’s central highlands and the southern coast at Tangalle Day 1: Arrive Colombo You will be met on arrival at Colombo Airport and transferred approx. 3 hours to Taylors Hill, just outside Kandy, your home for the next three nights (half-board basis inc. breakfast and dinner). Taylors Hill This handsome colonial-era British planter’s home occupies a privileged position in the high hills overlooking Kandy. Dating back to the mid-19th century, Taylors Hill is a quintessential English country home, transplanted to the cool, breezy climes of Sri Lanka’s Central Highlands. Taylors Hill offers just five rooms, all located within the original property. Each room is individually-styled and features a unique blend of colonial-era and contemporary furnishings. The property sits on several acres of land, shared with a working tea factory. The immediate grounds have been converted into neatly-cropped lawns and English-style gardens, surrounded by verdant forest. There is a small pool in the gardens and plenty of spots to sit, relax and enjoy the cooler climate. Days 2 & 3: Tea Country The next two days are free for you to relax or explore at leisure. You will have a private vehicle and driver at your disposal, leaving you free to explore the area around Kandy at your own pace. Your Financial Protection All monies paid by you for the air holiday package shown [or flights if appropriate] are ATOL protected by the Civil Aviation Authority. Our ATOL number is ATOL 3145.
