Symptomatology of Phytophthora canker of cacao following river flooding. In: Theobroma v. 10 p. 203-211, 1980.

Abstract

Cocoa plantations on the banks of the River Doce and River São Mateus in the Stale of Espírito Santo and River Jequitinhonha in south Bahia were flooded for many weeks after abnormally heavy rains in the hinterland of southeast Brazil between late 1978 and early 1979. Immediate loss of trees was attributed to physiological effects of inundation and physical damage by uprooting.
