2.1.3. Measurements
2.1.3.1. Aerial symptoms of avocado white root rot. Aerial symptoms
of the disease were assessed every 3 days using a scale of 1–5;
where 1, plant healthy; 2, plant with first symptoms of wilt; 3,
plant wilted; 4, plant wilted with first symptoms of leaf desiccation;
and 5, plant completely desiccated and dead. Areas under
the disease progress curve (AUDPC) (Campbell and Madden,
1990) for data taken every 3 days were calculated for every experiment
and treatment, and average AUPDC values were obtained
considering the number of replications within each experiment.
