Tamarindus indica L. Tamarind.
... (3) Tamarind mealybug, Drosichiella tamarindus (Green) Jayaraj & Ananthan (2009) reported that these mealybugs severely infest tamarind during and medicinal properties, but also has industrial and economic importance. It is used for food, medicine, fodder, apiculture, fuel, timber, tannin/dyestuff, paints and varnishes, shade/ shelter, live fencing and as an ornamental (von Maydell, 1986;Parrotta, 1990;Kuru, 2014). Tamarind addresses food, nutritional, income and changing climate insecurities. ...
... This root-knot nematode is reported to be a serious pest of both tamarind and coconut palm (Sosamma & Koshy, 1977;Parrotta, 1990;El-Siddig, 2006). ...
Tamarind (Tamarindus indica L.), native to Eastern Africa, is now naturalised in Asia, and Central and South America. Thus, it has become an economically important species not only in Africa, but also in Asia and America to address food, nutrition, economic and climate change insecurities. Tamarind is a multipurpose tree: its leaves, roots and immature pods are consumed as vegetables. All parts of the tamarind tree-root, bark, leaves, flowers, fruit pulp and seeds-have rich nutritional and medicinal values. However, a range of herbivores can cause serious damage to the tree. This paper is a global review of the phytophagous nematodes, mites and insects in major Tamarind-growing regions. Summarised information on the herbivores is presented in taxonomic order, and pest management practices are given for economically important pest species in nurseries/field and storage. Future research is suggested to develop inter-country integrated pest management practices in a changing climate scenario for tamarind growers in social forestry and agroforestry systems. This is a condensed version prepared for Agriculture for Development, a full bibliography is available from the principal author for both minor and major pests of tamarind.
... growing domestic and international demand (Parrotta, 1990;Smith et al., 2002). In many areas of the world the growth and management of tamarind is handled by small nurseries and local farmers. ...

... Although the tamarind, Tamarindus indica (94), was domesticated in Africa, it was carried to India prior to 1300 BC, to judge from charcoal analyses and literary references (Blench 2003:284). Literary references suggest that it only spread to Java and the rest of Southeast Asia in the medieval period (Gunasena & Hughes 2000). ...
... ientific name (<Arabic tamr hindī رمت يدنﻩ = 'date of India') but to have spread to India at an early date (Burkill 1997:169-176). It is at least possible that this is a disjunct distribution (Asouti & Fuller 2007:98). Charcoal from a tamarind tree has been identified from Narhan site in the middle Ganges at some 1300 BC (Saraswat et al. 1994). Gunasena & Hughes (2000) note that it is referred to in the Brahmasamhita scriptures (1200-200 BC) and in Buddhist sources from around 650 AD. Munda names are not uniform, indicating it was not known to proto- Munda speakers and indeed it appears that the Munda root tittin may be borrowed from Dravidian (Zide & Zide 1973:1299). Even within Dravidian, the #cinta ...

Among Arid Zone Fruits, tamarind, Tamarindus indica L. of the family Leguminosae is a major fruit crop. Survey was conducted to find out major disease of tamarind and found black pod disease was major constraints. Black pod of tamarind incidence was observed range from 8.00 -22 per cent in pod on tree and incidence in storage was observed 5-22.5 per cent at different location in Jhalawar district during 2013 to 2017. Subsequently, the pathogen was isolated and pure culture of fungus established. The pathogenicity of fungus was proved and it was identified as Aspergillus niger by Indian Type Culture Collection, Division of Plant Pathology, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi.
Black root rot of strawberry is often referred to as a disease complex, because many different factor including living and non-living. Among the living factor fungi like Pythium, Rhizoctonia and Fusarium, is very common. The field experiment was laid out at CHF Jhalawar Rajasthan with Six varieties of strawberry including Winter Down, Fortuna, Elyana, Suberina, Cristal and Safari. Disease incidence in revealed that minimum disease incidence was observed in cv. Cristal 23.96 per cent which is significantly less as compared to other cultivars while maximum incidence was observed in cv. Safari i.e. 85.42 per cent.
Tamarindus indica L. es un árbol de gran tamaño, larga vida y usualmente siempreverde, nativo a los trópicos del Viejo Mundo. Conocido comúnmente como tamarindo, este árbol se ha plantado y naturalizado extensamente en las regiones tropicales y subtropicales, incluyendo la región del Caribe, la América Central y el norte de la América del Sur (27). Los individuos maduros, los cuales crecen por lo común hasta una altura de 25 m, con diámetros del tronco de hasta 150 cm, se caracterizan por una copa redondeada, esparcida y densa, con ramas bajas, hojas parapinadas y una corteza gruesa, gris y con fisuras profundas (31, 45). En el trópico americano, el tamarindo se cultiva más que nada por su fruto, como una fuente de combustible y como una ornamental (27).
