Spore dispersal and plant disease gradients : a comparison between two empirical models
(1987-03)
Power law and exponential models were fitted to 325 sets of observations which described decreases with distance in deposition of air-borne or splash-borne spores, or pollen, or in amounts of plant disease caused by fungi, ...
A rain tower and wind tunnel for studying the dispersal of plant pathogens by rain and wind
(1986-12)
The rain tower/wind tunnel complex at Rothamsted consists of a rain tower (height 11 m, cross-section 1 m2) linked to the upwind end of a wind tunnel (length 12 m, cross-section 1 m2), which may be operated in either an ...
Effects of rainfall intensity and duration on dispersal of Rhynchosporium secalis conidia from infected barley leaves
(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 ...
Spore dispersal in splash droplets
(Cambridge University Press, 1986)
Water is the solvent for metabolic processes, it participates directly in many biochemical reactions and has a vital skeletal function. It also plays a key role in the behaviour and spread of fungi. The chapters of this ...
