Detection of airborne inoculum of Leptosphaeria maculans and Pyrenopeziza brassicae in oilseed rape crops by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays
Calderon, C.; Ward, Elaine; Freeman, J.; Foster, S. J.; McCartney, H. A. (2002-06)The potential use of DNA-based methods for detecting airborne inoculum of Leptosphaeria maculans and Pyrenopeziza brassicae, both damaging pathogens of oilseed rape, was investigated. A method for purifying DNA from spores ... -
Dispersal of conidia of Ascochyta fabae f. sp. lentis from infected lentil plants by simulated wind and rain
Pedersen, E.A.; Morrall, R.A.A.; McCartney, H. A.; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (1994-02)Splash was shown to be an effective mechanism for short-range dispersal of conidia of Ascochyta fabae f. sp. lentis, the cause of ascochyta blight of lentil. The dispersal gradients were well described by the power law ... -
Dispersal of foliar plant pathogens : mechanisms, gradients and spatial patterns
McCartney, H. A.; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (Wolters Kluwer, 1998) -
Early development of light leaf spot (Pyrenopeziza brassicae) on winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus) in relation to temperature and leaf wetness.
Figueroa, L.; Fitt, Bruce D.L.; Welham, S.J.; Shaw, M.W.; McCartney, H. A. (1995-08)In controlled environment experiments to study early development of light leaf spot, lesions developed with leaf wetness durations of 16 to 48 h after inoculation of oilseed rape with conidial suspensions of Pyrenopeziza ... -
Effects of leaf age and position on splash dispersal of Pseudocercosporella capsellae, cause of white leaf spot on oilseed rape
Fitt, Bruce D.L.; Dhua, U.; Lacey, M.E.; McCartney, H. A. (1990) -
Effects of previous cropping and fungicide timing on the development of light leaf spot (Pyrenopeziza brassicae), seed yield and quality of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus)
Figueroa, L.; Shaw, M.W.; Fitt, Bruce D.L.; McCartney, H. A.; Welham, S.J. (1994-04)Light leaf spot, caused by Pyrenopeziza brassicae, was assessed regularly on double-low cultivars of winter oilseed rape during field experiments at Rothamsted in 1990-91 and 1991-92. Previous cropping and fungicide ... -
Effects of rainfall intensity and duration on dispersal of Rhynchosporium secalis conidia from infected barley leaves
Creighton, N.F.; Fitt, Bruce D.L.; Lacey, M.E.; McCartney, H. A. (1986-06-30)Simulated rain of two intensities was allowed to fall for 30 min on to barley leaves infected by Rhynchosporium secalis. The resulting splash droplets were collected on horizontal pieces of fixed photographic film. Most ... -
Effects of temperature and leaf wetness duration on the incubation and latent periods of light leaf spot on oilseed rape
Figueroa, L.; Fitt, Bruce D.L.; McCartney, H. A. (1993) -
Implementation of results from rain tower experiments into a simulation model for vertical spore distribution

The incorporation of pathogen spores into rain-splash droplets : a modelling approach
Huber, L.; Fitt, Bruce D.L.; McCartney, H. A. (1996-06-30)Simple, theoretical, physical principles and existing experimental data were used to derive an analytical model to describe thr incorporation of plant pathogen spores into splash droplets, Data were obtained from experiments ... -
