A Rapid PAGE index method for avocado sunblotch disease for field trees which takes only 6 h, compared with 2—5 days for other previously described tediniques, has been developed and tested. Flower bud? are used instead of leaves as source material. All 52 flower Duu Siimplcs irom known bunblotcn‐infcctcd trees tested positive whilst only 37 out of 72 in‐fccted leaf samples gave positive results.
