Construction of dispersal models
McCartney, H.A.; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (Academic Press, 1985) -
Dispersal of foliar plant pathogens : mechanisms, gradients and spatial patterns
Fitt, Bruce D.L.; McCartney, H.A.; West, Jon S. (Springer Nature, 2006) -
Dispersal of Rhynchosporium secalis conidia from infected barley leaves or straw by simulated rain
Fitt, Bruce D.L.; McCartney, H.A.; Creighton, N.F.; Walklate, M.E.L. (1988-02-29)Simulated rain (mean drop diameter c. 1 or 3 mm) was allowed to fall for 10 – 15 min on to barley leaves or straw infected by Rhynchosporium secalis (leaf blotch). The leaves were supported on a mesh through which run-off ... -
Incidence-severity relationships for grey mould (Botrytis cinerea) on sunflower heads
Fitt, Bruce D.L.; Church, V. J.; McCartney, H.A. (1992) -
Influence of simulated rain on dispersal of rust spores from infected wheat seedlings
Geagea, L.; Huber, L.; Sache, I.; Flura, D.; McCartney, H.A.; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (2000-03-10)Spores of both Puccinia recondita f sp, tritici and P striiformis (brown rust and yellow rust of wheat) are thought to be primarily dispersed by wind. The results of experiments, using a rain simulator with uniform drop ... -
Influence of target characteristics on the amount of water splashed by impacting drops
Huber, L.; McCartney, H.A.; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (1997-11-15)Experiments were done to investigate the influence of drop diameter on the efficiency of the splash process, using a rain tower and different types of target (glass, water films, healthy and/or diseased oilseed rape leaves ... -
The role of rain in dispersal of pathogen inoculum
Fitt, Bruce D.L.; McCartney, H.A.; Walklate, P.J. (1989)The importance of rain in the dispersal of micro-organisms was first demon strated in the 1880s, in the classic studies of Pierre Miquel (Figure 1) on the microflora of the Pare Montsouris in Paris. Collected rainwater ... -
Spore dispersal gradients and disease development
McCartney, H.A.; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (Blackwell Scientific, 1987) -
Spore dispersal in relation to epidemic models
Fitt, Bruce D.L.; McCartney, H.A. (Macmillan, 1986) -
Vertical dispersal of plant pathogens by splashing. Part II : experimental study of the relationship between raindrop size and the maximum splash height
Walklate, P.J.; McCartney, H.A.; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (1989-03)This paper describes a simple experimental test of the theoretical relationship between raindrop diameter and maximum splash height proposed by Walklate (1989). This relationship contains two empirical parameters to model ...
