This work aimed to determine the spatial pattern of the Sigatoka disease in the field and appropriate sample’s size for quantification of the disease in different planting areas and severity levels. The spatial pattern of the disease was investigated in three areas of banana’s planting, being delimited in each planting a portion of thirty contiguous lines, with 30 covas/line. Yellow Sigatoka disease was evaluated in each plant-mother and, considering the respective location, the analysis of space spatial’s autocorrelation was made. The three areas presented aggregate pattern of diseased plants, with predominance of the three areas presented pattern of diseased plants, with predominance of the aggregation inside of the lines aggregation inside of the lines. To determinate the appropriate sizes of the samples, it was made pilot’s sampling in 30 plantings, being established in each planting a sub-area of 2 ha, where 50 plants were selected by systematic sampling and evaluated by disease’severity. The severity of the Sigatoka yellow in the 30 plantingareas submitted to pilot’s sampling varied from 5,3% to 46,7%, not being verified significant correlations between the severity levels and the plantings’ age, as well as of these last ones with the sizes of the samples. The samples’ size for quantification of Sigatoka yellow banana’s severity were determinated considering the aggregate pattern of diseased plants. Obtained data were analyzed by method that specifies the acceptable mistake, with a aggregate pattern of diseased plants. The sample’s size were correlated negatively with the levels of disease’ severity (r = -0,60). Considering the planting area’ average, in futures studies of the severity of the Sigatoka yellow, at which excellent precision’ level is demanded (error = 5%), the sampling of 66 plants is recommended for each 2 ha cultivated, with the evaluation of the nine leaves more young/plant. The results obtained in this study serve as base for futures epidemic studies of the Sigatoka yellow banana, as data were originated from fields under different conditions and estimated considering growing needs of precision.Yellow Sigatoka disease or leaf spot Banana caused by fungus Mycosphaerella musicola (anamorph Pseudocercospora musae), it is an important disease of banana disseminated throughout in Brazilian territory.

Este trabalho teve como objetivos determinar o padrão espacial da Sigatoka-amarela no campo e os tamanhos ideais das amostras para quantificação da doença em diferentes áreas de plantio e níveis de severidade. O padrão espacial da doença foi investigado em três áreas de plantio de bananeira, sendo em cada plantio delimitada uma parcela de 30 linhas contíguas, com 30 covas/linha. A severidade da Sigatoka-amarela foi avaliada em cada planta-mãe e, considerando a respectiva localização, foi efetuada a análise de autocorrelação espacial. As três áreas apresentaram padrão agregado de plantas doentes, com predominância da agregação dentro das linhas. Na determinação dos tamanhos ideais das amostras, foram efetuadas amostragens-piloto em 30 plantios, sendo em cada plantio estabelecida uma sub-área de 2 ha, onde 50 plantas foram selecionadas por amostragem sistemática e avaliadas quanto à severidade da doença. A severidade da Sigatoka-amarela nas 30áreas de plantio submetidas às amostragens-piloto variou de 5,3% a 46,7%, não sendo constatadas correlações significativas entre os níveis de severidade e as idades dos plantios, bem como destas últimas com os tamanhos das amostras. Os tamanhos das amostras para quantificação da severidade da Sigatoka-amarela da bananeira foram determinados considerando o padrão agregado de plantas doentes. Os dados obtidos foram analisados pelo método que especifica o erro aceitável, com um padrão agregado de plantas doentes. Os tamanhos das amostras correlacionaram-se negativamente com os níveis de severidade da doença (r = -0,60). Considerando a média das áreas de plantio, em futuros levantamentos da severidade da Sigatoka-amarela, nos quais seja exigido excelente nível de precisão (erro = 5%), recomenda-se a amostragem de 66 plantas para cada 2 ha cultivados, com a avaliação das nove folhas mais jovens/planta. Os resultados obtidos nesse estudo servem como base para futuros levantamentos epidemiológicos da Sigatoka-amarela da bananeira, uma vez que os dados foram originados de campos sob diferentes condições e estimados considerando necessidades crescentes de precisão.
