Incidence of Cacao Frosty Pod Rot in a Tree of the Clone CCN – 51 Exposed to a Concentrated Infection Source Originating of the Ground | Chapter 14 | Novel Perspectives of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences Vol. 8

 The impact of an contamination ground source of Cacao frigid pod rot (Moniliophthora roreri (Cif. & Par.) Evans et al. was driven through the incidence of the affliction in a tree of cacao from clone CCN - 51. For this purpose, the beginning of infection combined by 27 diseased crops, of which 24 were in a abundant degree of sporulation, was brought in and deposited into 50 cm. about of the tree ambiguous. Every seven days, were made observations on the progress of the disease and were calm the healthy and unhealthy fruits present on the seedling. Two months and 10 days after the beginning of infection was popularized, only 1 fruit accompanying Frosty pod rot was collected, capable of being traced to external beginnings since it was erect seven days after the beginning of infection was established. Once again it was proved that unhealthy fruits located on the soil have no importance in the production of epidemics of Moniliphthora roreri.
