The aim of this work was to construct, using regression analysis, models for predicting Pseudocercospora leaves and fruits spot disease (PLFSD) incidence for the epidemiological risk management on orange, grapefruits and Satsuma tangerine trees. Study was conducted in the large humid zone of Cameroon. Epidemiological and pedoclimatic data were collected from experimental orchards located in Foumbot, Njombé, Ekona and Nkolbisson and citrus growers plots located in Bokito, Boumnyebel, Kumba and Jakiri. Regression analyzes done for each citrus fruit species allowed us to describe the relationships between the epidemiological variables and the characteristic parameters of the sites. Citrus trees located in more acidic soils, wit.. View More»
