Arable crop disease control, climate change and food security
(Association of Applied Biologists, 2011)
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 ...
Impacts of climate change on phoma stem canker and light leaf spot on UK oilseed rape
(2011)
To illustrate impacts of climate change on plant disease epidemics, an oilseed rape crop growth model, and weather-based disease forecasting models for phoma stem canker (Leptosphaeria maculans) and light leaf spot ...
Geostatistical analysis of the distribution of Leptosphaeria species causing phoma stem canker on winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus) in England
(2010-02)
In June/July 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2006, regional variation in distribution of the pathogens Leptosphaeria maculans and L. biglobosa that are causally associated with phoma stem canker was surveyed on winter oilseed rape ...
Autumn sowing increases severity of pasmo (Mycosphaerella linicola) on linseed in the UK
(2009)
Surveys and field experiments showed pasmo to be the most serious disease affecting UK winter linseed in the 1997-98, 1998-99 and 1999-2000 growing seasons. Survey data indicated that pasmo was widespread in England and ...
Altered distribution and life cycles of major pathogens in Europe
(DPG Selbstverlag, 2009)
Climate is a major determinant of crop productivity. Besides its direct impact on plant growth it has a major effect on the prevalence and incidence of plant diseases. The sensitivity of pathogens to climate is pronounced. ...
Controlling crop disease to mitigate climate change
(Association of Applied Biologists, 2009)
Controlling crop disease contributes to both food security and climate change mitigation
(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 ...
