SIGATOKA_DSI_AT HARVEST
Sigatoka disease severity index at harvest according to: Craenen, K., 1998. Technical manual on black Sigatoka disease of banana and plantain. International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA). Ibadan, Nigeria. 60 pp.
36.3
Gauhl's modification of Stover's Sigatoka severity scoring system, adapted from, was utilized. The scoring system follows a 0 to 6 scale where, 0 = no symptoms; 1 = 1%; 2 = 2 to 5%; 3 = 5 to 15%; 4 = 16 to 33%; 5 = 34 to 50%; and 6 = > 50% of leaf area affected. Beginning 6 months after field establishment, which corresponded to the first appearance of BLS symptoms, every leaf on individual plants was scored monthly for two full crop cycles (mother and first ratoon). Disease severity was also recorded at flowering and harvest during both production cycles. During both cropping cycles, the following agronomic and bunch characteristics were recorded: length of crop cycle, number of functional leaves at flowering and harvest, plant height and pseudostem diameter at flowering, bunch weight, and number of hands and fruit per bunch. In addition, the weight of third hand fruit as well as the length and diameter for the middle six fruits in the third hand were recorded. Analysis of variance was carried out using the GLM procedure of SAS for Windows Ver. 9.1. After significant F test at *P <0.05, mean separation was performed with the least significant difference test.
