Large-scale observations of tree phenology conducted in Gabon over 4 years show the impact of the treatment on foliage behaviour. These results provide an understanding on how the trees escape from the disease and how the occurrence of an epidemic is prevented. A 50;increase in foliage density led to around a 40;increase in yields on the susceptible clone GT 1.
