Abstract
- Ramie, the vegetable fibre, is obtained from the stem of Boehmeria nivea (L.) Gaud, and is used in many textile products. It is grown in tropical, sub-tropical and temperate regions and the main countries where it is grown are China, Brazil and the Philippines. However, it is only a minor crop in terms of world trade. The diseases of ramie are discussed in relation to their occurrence, symptoms and control measures. The major and most widespread diseases are white fungus caused by Rosellinia necatrix, leaf spot caused by Cercosporo spp. and Phyllosticta spp., seedling rot caused by Rhizoctonia solani, cane rot caused by Macrophomina phaseolina and eye rot caused by Myrothecium roridum. A number of diseases of minor importance are also reviewed.
