Some observations on black pod disease in Ghana

Show other versions (43)

Black pod incidence on 13 CRIG experimental plots from Government Cocoa Stations located at different parts of Ghana shows that disease incidence during the main epidemic period (June-November) accounted for almost all the annual crop loss from the disease. The crop harvested during the same period formed between 50 and 90 percent of the annual crop and of this 20-50 percent were diseased. It is suggested that costs for the chemical control of the disease should be based on the June-November crop and not on the annual crop
