The size of lesions on pods of each variety was measured on 5 consecutive days. The results showed that the rate of lesion development could be fitted to an exponential curve. This curve may be useful for predicting the lesion size within a 5 day period.Biological SciencesTheobroma cacaoPlant diseasesInoculationBlack podPathologyArticle
