Abstract:Gummosis, caused by Lasiodiplodia theobromae, is an important disease of cashew plants in Brazil. Genetic resistance is a promising control method, however, the selection of resistant genotypes under field conditions is both expensive and time consuming. This work was developed in order to define a method for the early selection of clones resistant to gummosis by testing different methodologies for inoculum production and pathogen inoculation. The evaluated techniques included bevel, spore suspension injection… Show more
