With the purpose to observe the incidence of Cacao Frosty Pod Rot on the production of clone CCN-51, 27 sporulated pods were laid around a tree within a circle of 50 radius centimeters on the ground.After two months and one week, only one pod was affected which occurred one week later from monitoring.This is atribuible to external air sources of infection.It can be affirmed that diseased pods deposited on the ground not constitute inoculum sources saving time and costs within disease cultural control.
