Coexistence of related pathogen species on arable crops in space and time
Fitt, Bruce D.L.; Huang, Yongju; van den Bosch, Frank; West, Jon S. (2006)This review considers factors affecting the coexistence of closely related pathogen species on arable crops, with particular reference to data available at Rothamsted for Septoria tritici/Stagonospora nodorum (Mycosphaerella ... -
Colonization of winter oilseed rape tissues by A/Tox(+) and B/Tox(0) Leptosphaeria maculans (phoma stem canker) in France and England
West, Jon S.; Balesdent, M. H.; Rouxel, T.; Narcy, J. P.; Huang, Yongju; Roux, J.; Steed, J. M.; Fitt, Bruce D.L.; Schmit, J. (2002-06)The colonization of winter oilseed rape plants and epidemiology of phoma stem canker differed between A/Tox(+) and B /Tox(0) Leptosphaeria maculans. In France and England, where plant colonization was investigated during ... -
Comparative biology of different plant pathogens to estimate effects of climate change on crop diseases in Europe
West, Jon S.; Townsend, J.A.; Stevens, M.; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (2012-05)This review describes environmental factors that influence severity of crop disease epidemics, especially in the UK and north-west Europe, in order to assess the effects of climate change on crop growth and yield and ... -
A comparision of GHG emissions from UK field crop production under selected arable systems with reference to disease control
Carlton, Robert R.; West, Jon S.; Smith, Pete; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (2012)Crop disease not only threatens global food security by reducing crop production at a time of growing demand, but also contributes to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by reducing efficiency of N fertiliser use and farm ... -

Controlling crop disease contributes to both food security and climate change mitigation
Mahmuti, M.; West, Jon S.; Watts, J.; Gladders, P.; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (2009)Global food security is threatened by crop diseases that account for average yield losses of 16 per cent, with the greatest losses experienced by subsistence farmers in the developing world. Climate change is exacerbating ... -
