Orange Spotting (OS) is an emerging disease in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq) that has been associated with Coconut cadang-cadang viroid (CCCVd; Cocadviroid, Pospiviroidae). This study was aimed at selecting efficient wavebands in the Visible/near infrared (VNIR) spectrum (400-1050 nm) for estimation of chlorophyll content in CCCVd-inoculated oil palm seedlings. The VNIR spectrum is most sensitive to chlorophyll stress and able to differentiate between healthy and diseased plants.
