Wikipedia Abstract

The Ceylon breadfruit, (Artocarpus nobilis), is a tree species in the family Moraceae. It is endemic to south western regions of Sri Lanka. It is known as "Wal dhel - වල් දෙල්" , "Baedi dhel - බැදි දෙල්" or as "Hingala dhel - හිංගල දෙල්" by local people. The plant is known to infect by Rigidoporus microporus to cause White root disease.
