Fig. 1. Effect of temperature on the relative area under the disease progress
curve (RAUDPC) for black olive fruit of ‘Hojiblanca’ inoculated with two
isolates of Colletotrichum acutatum (experiment 1). Points represent the
average of nine plastic boxes of 25 fruit each. Curves represent the Analytis β
functions, Y = k × ta × (1 – t)b, relating the RAUDPC to temperature for each
Colletotrichum isolate. Equations fit the observed data with R2> 0.85.
