Abstract : A sound assessment of phoma stem canker symptoms is needed to develop epidemiological, agronomical and physiological studies on the pathosystem. A specific analysis was therefore carried out to: (i) compare four methods of crown canker assessment; (ii) test the among and within assessor repeatability of one of the methods compared; (iii) characterise the spatial pattern of the disease; and (iv) define the sample size required to achieve a given level of disease assessment precision. The methods compared examined the symptoms with different procedures and graded the plants observed into six severity classes. A disease index (DI) summarised the severity distribution observed. Examination of crown cross-sections was the most precise method for assessing crown cankers. The method was repeatable, though an 'assessor effect' was apparent. The disease generally had a random pattern although significant spatial correlations were detected for four out of the fifteen plots studied at the scales examined. A relationship between the coefficient of variation of the DI and the sample size was established, evaluated with experimental field data and exemplified for typical severity distributions.
