Indonesian term
environmental effect especially "kalurning"
Indonesian to English
Other
Agriculture
This question is particularly intended for INDONESIAN colleagues. It is in an English text written by someone from Indonesia about ressistance of cocoa to certain diseases and I guess the term KALURNING is a Bahasa word or some other of the languages spoken in Indonesia. Please kindly refrain from guessing. Thanks in advance.

yellow streak cocoa pods
kalurning: kakao alur kuning = yellow streak cocoa pods
For agriculturalists in Indonesia, ‘kalurning’ is not a common name or acronym in Indonesian language for cocoa disease. I suspect that ‘kalurning’ is meant an acronym standing for ‘kakao alur kuning’ (‘yellow streak cocoa pods’) which is used in a limited agricultural society but not nationwide. Cocoa crops infected by ‘cocoa pod borers’ (Conopomorpha cramerella), indeed, show a symptom of ‘yellow streak cocoa pods’. The crop pests are widely known as ‘cocoa pod borers’ instead of ‘yellow streak cocoa pods’. The later term implies as if it is one of cocoa diseases but in fact, it is not.
