Excerpt from Hevea Diseases of the Western Hemisphere
Seed pods are regarded as the most susceptible part of the plant and diseased pods are generally considered responsible for the rapid dissemination of the disease in plantations. At the time of the initial outbreak at Los Diamantes most of the trees were not of seed -bearing age. Seeds produced on a few trees were quickly destroyed. This and subsequent outbreaks of epidemic proportions were sustained by the presence of active fungus in the cankered branches of infected plants.
