Development of a disease infection risk prediction system for anthracnose (Colletotrichum scovillei) in sweet pepper

Abstract

We developed the Disease Infection Risk Prediction System for anthracnose in sweet pepper. After comparison of the results over a period of two consecutive years; based on the combination of the temperature and the duration of the wetness period; in relation to the ratio number of diseased fruit, it is obvious that the prediction of this index is highly reliable.
