Vertical dispersal of plant pathogens by splashing. Part II : experimental study of the relationship between raindrop size and the maximum splash height
(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 ...
The role of rain in dispersal of pathogen inoculum
(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 ...
Dispersal of Rhynchosporium secalis conidia from infected barley leaves or straw by simulated rain
(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 ...
