| Abstract | The clove crop of the Zanzibar Protectorate, on which the economy of the islands is largely based, and which provides nine-tenths of the world's supplies, is seriously threatened by the sudden-death disease. In 1950, it was estimated that at least half of the clove trees in Zanzibar Island had already been killed by this disease, and that in the island of Pemba there were more than two thousand separate outbreaks. The disease has made rapid progress since that date. |
