How can we assess the percent diseased area in 'Carabao' mangoes?

I would use a quadrat system to assess the diseased area of anything. Exactly how you might do that would depend on the degree of accuracy you need and the time you have.\n\nyou could adapt the method to suit your needs, either using photographs with grids printed or maybe if you want to be more accrate, peeling the skins to spread them out and projecting a grid onto them?

Mangoes beyond being delicious and rich in vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants, contain an enzyme with stomach soothing properties similar to papain found in papayas. These comforting enzymes act as a digestive aid and can be held partially responsible for that feeling of contentment we experience during and after our daily mango ritual. The mango tree yields a gum, tannin and a yellow dye. The bark leaves and seeds are used to prepare a range of traditional medicines.

Mango trees grow best in soils with pH values of 6 to 7,2. If the soil-exchangeable aluminium (Al) is not more than 30 ppm, soils with a pH of 5,5 or higher may be used. \n\nAt pH values lower or higher than 6 to 7,2 the trees may suffer trace-element deficiencies, especially phosphate and potassium. \n\nFor acids and and nutrients of Mango see\nhttp://www.thefruitpages.com/chartmango.shtml

If you are asking for the percentage of occurance for each condition, I do not know. I did find a site which is relative at :\nhttp://www.medstudents.com.br/endoc/endoc5.htm\nI wish you the best of luck.

Rather than microbio, bio, or botany departments I would take it to the plant pathology department...good luck

There was a WHO report on tropical diseases in 2004 that might be helpful:\n\n\nTropical disease death statistics by worldwide region: \n\nAbout 56,000 deaths from Tropical diseases in Africa 2002 (The World Health Report, WHO, 2004) \n\nAbout 16,000 deaths from Tropical diseases in The Americas 2002 (The World Health Report, WHO, 2004) \n\nAbout 36,000 deaths from Tropical diseases in South East Asia 2002 (The World Health Report, WHO, 2004) \n\nAbout 15,000 deaths from Tropical diseases in Eastern Mediterranean 2002 (The World Health Report, WHO, 2004) \n\nAbout 5,000 deaths in Western Pacific 2002 (The World Health Report, WHO, 2004)\n\n\nAlso, here are some statistics on yaws in southeast asia from the WHO web site:\n\nAbout 5,000 cases are reported annually, 4,000 in Indonesia, 1,000 in Timor-Leste and a few cases in India.\n\nThere is a lot on yaws on the WHO web site. I am not sure if it lists deaths due to yaws anywhere, however. What if you contacted the WHO and asked?\n\n----------------\n\nHere is another little bit of information from another site:\n\n"In 7157 West Indian cases treated in various hospitals there were only 185 deaths, a mortality of 25.8 per thousand (Nicholls)."\n\nfrom third reference.\n\n--------------------\n\nIn the early 50s, there were 25-100 million cases per year, world wide (from 4th reference).\n\n------------------------\n\nIndonesia reported 11414 cases of yaws in 1982 (5th reference)\n\n-----------------------\n\nthere were 17609 cases of yaws reported in the solomon islands in 2001 (6th reference)\n\n-----------------\n\nI am not sure if this is on the internet, to be honest. Or if it is, it might be in an obscure place.

Assuming your species is diploid, it goes like this:\n\nSupposing there is a field of red, pink and white flowers. Red flowers have genotype RR, pink Rr or rR, and white rr. \n\nYou count the number of each kind of flower. It turns out there are 150 red-flowered plants, 480 pink, and 170 white ones. \n\nTherefore there are 2*(150+480+170) = 1600 alleles out there. There are 300 Rs in the red plants, 480 in the pink ones and 0 in the white. Added together there are 780. 780/1600 = 0.4875, so the frequency of the R allele is 48.75%\n\nAs for the r allele, there are 0 in the red-flowered plants, 480 in the pink, and 340 in the white. Added together, there are 820. 820/1600 is 51.25%.\n\nAs a double check, 48.75% + 51.25% = 100%

I won't do your homework for you, but I will give you a few hints.\n\nThe first hint is that ddnight is talkin' smack. This has nothing to do with atmosoheric composition.\n\nThe second hint is that you should be looking very varefully at the relative effect of C4 and CAM utilisation on water LOSS. Underline the word 'loss".\n\n--------------------\n>>>CAM plants and C4's do better in higher temps than C3's.\n\nGenerally yes. But the question is why the plants died in that order. Begonia are tropical plants, so a temperature would not have killed it, and the pineapple is both tropical nad C4, sdo temperature effects can't be at play directly.\n\nOnly one plausible explanation remains.

"High levels of Mn (189 and 465 ppm), Cu (30.5 and 21.8 ppm), Zn (151.9 and 75.1 ppm), and NO3 (4,600 and 7,200ppm) were found in the leaves of E. hirta and P. amarus respectively. No traces of cyanide and nitrite were found in the leaves of these two plants. Varying proportions of Fe (2,225 and 1,563ppm), Mg (5,500 and 5,800ppm), K (33,000 and 32,000ppm), Ca (21,000 and 26,500ppm), and Na (558.1 and 125 ppm) were found in the leaves of E. hirta and P. amarus respectively. The levels of chemicals are high enough to constitute a source of toxicosis to animals consuming them and their use for medicinal purpose should also be a source for concern most especially if the fresh leave decoctions are used."

This pest is on more than just mangoes.  It likes citrus also.  Follow the link below for exact directions on how to erradicate these pests.
