Leaf Fall Disease in Rubber Plantations: Climate-Driven Pathogen Proliferation and Regional Impacts in Southeast Asia
2025
Overview
Leaf fall disease is a significant factor contributing to the decline in rubber plant production. Global climate change has altered temperature, humidity, and rainfall, impacting the dynamics of this disease by often increasing its severity and broadening its geographical distribution. This disease, affecting rubber plants, is primarily caused by various fungal pathogens, including Colletotrichum spp., Pestalotiopsis spp., and Phytophthora spp. The emergence and spread of these pathogens are closely associated with environmental conditions. This study investigates how climatic variables influence the development and distribution of leaf fall disease, with the goal of informing the development of effective management strategies. The research focuses on rubber plantations in Southeast Asia, specifically in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. This study synthesizes scientific literature that examines the correlation between climate change and diseases affecting rubber plants, as well as the evolutionary dynamics of the associated fungal pathogens. The literature review underscores that climate change plays a crucial role in affecting rubber plant productivity in relation to pathogen dynamics and overall plant health. Moreover, the rise in environmental temperatures linked to climate change encourages the growth and development of leaf fall disease pathogens in rubber plants. In addition, without proper mitigation efforts, the continued progression of climate change may lead to more frequent and severe outbreaks, further jeopardizing rubber production and farmer livelihoods.
