  • 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.

The island has a rich cultural heritage that dates back over 2,000 years which is linked to the origins of Buddhism in the country with magnificently constructed stupas and the ruins of ancient kingdoms. Controlled from the 16th century onwards by the Portuguese, Dutch and finally the British prior to gaining full independence in 1948, the influences of colonial powers remain visible in architecture and a number of forts across the country.

  • Management of Municipal Solid Waste in Sri Lanka: a Comparative Appraisal of the Economics of Composting
    Management of Municipal Solid Waste in Sri Lanka: A Comparative Appraisal of the Economics of Composting T Lalithasiri Gunaruwan and W Neluka Gunasekara Abstract Sri Lanka, a developing nation, is facing a severe problem of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management, the currently adopted predominant method being open dumping due mainly to low cost and less processing involved. This practice is hazardous, and causes significant negative externalities to society and to the economy. In contrast, composting is considered to be one of the most technically appropriate methods of managing MSW in Sri Lanka, the composition of waste being predominantly organic. Though a few local authorities are engaged in composting but no comprehensive economic feasibility study has been carried out which is the knowledge gap that this paper attempts to address. The study examined the economics of MSW management through composting in Sri Lanka by examining various models proposed and implemented. Further, the Pilisaru prescription and what has been implemented by a few local authorities were analysed using benefit-cost appraisal methodology, with particular reference to the management model adopted by the Weligama Urban Council. The study reveals that composting as a MSW management method would be economically viable. It also signifies that based on comparative investment and operating cost levels in other composting experiments in Sri Lanka, even achieving financial viability would be possible, if a compost management model with improved investment productivity is developed. Keywords: composting, economic viability, environmental safeguarding, municipal solid waste management. JEL Classification Codes: D61, D62, H23, H43, O13, O18, Q53, Q56 T Lalithasiri Gunaruwan, PhD is a Senior Lecturer of the Department of Economics, University of Colombo.
