PATRICIO-HERNANDEZ, Alberto et al. Diagrammatic scale to evaluate the severity of gray mold (Botrytis cinerea) in pomegranate. Rev. mex. fitopatol [online]. 2023, vol.41, n.3, pp.524-530. Epub 13-Out-2023. ISSN 2007-8080. https://doi.org/10.18781/r.mex.fit.2302-9.
The aim of this study was to design and validate a diagrammatic scale to estimate the severity of gray mold induced by Botrytis cinerea in pomegranate cultivation. A total of 120 healthy and diseased fruits with varying degrees of affliction were collected from orchards with active production located in the municipalities of Chilcuahutla and Taxquillo in the state of Hidalgo, Mexico (20° 18’ 11’’ N, 99° 14’ 23’’ W, 20° 32’ 01’’ N, 99° 20’ 03’’ W, respectively). From these, 60 were selected to determine the severity percentage, according to a 6-class scale (Class 0 = 0%, Class 1 = >0% - 5% - 10%, Class 2 = >10% - 25% - 50%, Class 3 = >50% - 75% - 85%, Class 4 = >85% - 90% - 95%, and Class 5 = >95% - 100%), using the 2LOG software. With the obtained data, representative images were selected to build the diagrammatic scale using Adobe Photoshop. The accuracy (r2), precision (β0), and reproducibility (β1) were verified by simple linear regression applied to the data obtained by 12 evaluators with and without experience in the observation of plant diseases. As a result, values of r2 of 0.42 and 0.85 were obtained, without and with the use of the scale, respectively, which confirmed that this tool is suitable to evaluate the severity of the disease accurately and reproducibly.
