How to save the "tree of life" : A study of which factors that might increase the risk of having CLYD using the statistical method of logistic regression.
In the late 90s coconut farms in Mozambique were affected by a disease that made the coconut trees drop their leaves and die, the disease is called the coconut lethal yellowing disease (CLYD). It is known that planthoppers are spreading the disease. This thesis investigates if cultivation and farm r...
