Effects of agronomic factors on yield of winter oilseed rape were examined in multifactorial experiments, with a single-low (low erucic acid, high glucosinolate) cultivar (Bienvenu) in 1984/85 to 1987/88 and a double-low ...

Atypical, green leaf blotch lesions were observed on senescent leaves in winter barley crops and sometimes developed on barley leaves inoculated with conidia of Rhynchosporium secalis in a glasshouse. Similar atypical ...

Light leaf spot, caused by Pyrenopeziza brassicae, was assessed regularly on double-low cultivars of winter oilseed rape during field experiments at Rothamsted in 1990-91 and 1991-92. Previous cropping and fungicide ...

Effects of temperature and leaf wetness on the latent period of Rhynchosporium secalis (leaf blotch) on winter barley were examined in controlled environment experiments. At 100% relative humidity (continuous leaf wetness) ...

Splash was shown to be an effective mechanism for short-range dispersal of conidia of Ascochyta fabae f. sp. lentis, the cause of ascochyta blight of lentil. The dispersal gradients were well described by the power law ...

The recent large increase in the growing of linseed in the United Kingdom has led to worries about potential disease problems. This review summarises information on the distribution, disease status, symptoms and life cycle ...
