Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Temperature significantly affected all measured P. palmivora traits, with interactions involving isolate origin and acclimation.
- Observation The hill-region isolate TN had broader thermal performance, superior growth, aggressiveness, and sporulation than CBP.
- Intervention effect Acclimated cultures caused larger lesions, faster maceration, and more severe disease on coconut seedlings than unacclimated controls.
- Intervention effect Re-isolated acclimated cultures lost enhanced performance at optimal temperatures.
- Recommendation The authors call for climate-responsive coconut disease surveillance and management.
