Arable crop disease control, climate change and food security
Fitt, Bruce D.L.; Evans, Neal; Gladders, Peter; Hughes, David; West, Jon S. (2013-08)Global food security is threatened by crop diseases that account for average yield losses of 16%. Climate change is exacerbating threats to food security in much of the world, emphasising the need to increase food production ... -
Climate change and arable crop disease control : mitigation and adaptation
Fitt, Bruce D.L.; Evans, Neal; Gladders, Peter; Hughes, D. J.; Madgwick, J.W.; Jeger, M.J.; Townsend, J.A.; Turner, J.A.; West, Jon S. (2011) -
Climate change in Europe : altered life cycles and spread of major pathogens in oilseed rape
Evans, Neal; Gladders, Peter; Fitt, Bruce D.L.; Tiedemann, A.V. (2009) -
Climate change to worsen severity of stem canker
West, Jon S.; Rogers, Sam; Gladders, Peter; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (2008) -
Disease control on UK winter oilseed rape contributes to climate change mitigation
Mahmuti, M.; West, Jon S.; Watts, J.; Gladders, Peter; Hughes, D.J.; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (2011)The UK government has published plans to reduce UK agriculture‟s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. At the same time, the goal of food security requires an increase in arable crop yields. Foliar disease control measures such ... -
Effects of disease control by fungicides on greenhouse gas emissions by UK arable crop production
Hughes, David J.; West, Jon S.; Atkins, Simon D.; Gladders, Peter; Jeger, Michael J.; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (2011-09)Background: The UK government has published plans to reduce UK agriculture's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. At the same time, the goal of global food security requires an increase in arable crop yields. Foliar disease ... -
How interactions between phoma stem canker pathogens are influenced by fungicides
Moloney, Steven J; Huang, Yongju; Hall, Avice; Ashworth, M.; Gladders, Peter; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (2012) -
Inter-individual genetic variation in the temperature response of Leptosphaeria species pathogenic on oilseed rape
Fitt, Bruce; Newbery, Fay; Shaw, Michael; Ritchie, Faye; Gladders, Peter (2020-10-01)It is important to understand the likely response of plant pathogens to increased temperatures due to anthropogenic climate change. This includes evolutionary change due to selection on genetically based variation in growth ... -
Light leaf spot (Pyrenopeziza brassicae) : a resurgent problem in the UK
Evans, Neal; Burlakoti, Rishi R.; Gladders, Peter; Ritchie, Faye; Turner, J.A.; Kloppel, Coretta; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (2014)Since 2006, the incidence and severity of light leaf spot (Pyrenopeziza brassicae) in winter oilseed rape in the UK has increased so that the disease is now the main disease concern for growers with respect to yield loss. ... -
The potential of temperature gradient plates to measure temperature response in fungal pathogens
Newbery, F.; Shaw, M.W.; Fitt, Bruce D.L.; Gladders, Peter (2013-08)Temperature response curves have been studied for a wide variety of processes in an extensive number of organisms. The temperature response of growth in fungi, however, has rarely been studied across a wide range of ... -
Prediction of the date of onset of phoma leaf spot epidemics on oilseed rape in the UK
Evans, Neal; Baierl, Andreas; Gladders, Peter; Hall, B.; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (IOBC, 2006)To reduce reliance on fungicides for control of oilseed rape diseases, Decision Support Systems (DSS) are being developed to target applications as part of an integrated disease management strategy. This paper reports on ... -
Range and severity of a plant disease increased by global warming
Evans, Neal; Baierl, Andreas; Semenov, Mikhail A.; Gladders, Peter; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (2008-06-05)Climate change affects plants in natural and agricultural ecosystems throughout the world but little work has been done on the effects of climate change on plant disease epidemics. To illustrate such effects, a weather-based ... -
Use of fungicide sprays to control stem canker (Leptosphaeria maculans) in winter oilseed rape
Gladders, Peter; Ashworth, M.; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (Association of Applied Biologists, 2007) -
Use of qPCR techniques to predict light leaf spot resistance of oilseed rape varieties
Booth, E. J.; West, Jon S.; Fitt, Bruce D.L.; Rodgers, S. L.; White, Rodger; Todda, A.D.; Latunde-Dada, A. O.; Thomas, J.E.; Gladders, Peter (2010)
