Strategies to prevent spread of Leptosphaeria maculans (phoma stem canker) onto oilseed rape crops in China : costs and benefits
(2008-08)
Field experiments in Europe have shown that Chinese cultivars of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus) are very susceptible to the pathogen Leptosphaeria maculans (cause of phoma stem canker). Climatic and agronomic conditions ...
Range and severity of a plant disease increased by global warming
(2008-06-05)
Climate change affects plants in natural and agricultural ecosystems throughout the world but little work has been done on the effects of climate change on plant disease epidemics. To illustrate such effects, a weather-based ...
Investigating the phenotype of major gene-mediated resistance to Pyrenopeziza brassicae in Brassica napus
(2008-06)
Pyrenopeziza brassicae causes light leaf spot on winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus), which is currently controlled through the use of fungicides and cultivars with quantitative resistance. Imola is a new oilseed rape ...
Forecasting oilseed rape diseases from airborne inoculum
(2008-06)
Most fungal diseases of oilseed rape are initiated by airborne spores. The seasonal timing of spore release of each species changes in response to weather with maturation and release of spores typically driven by moisture ...
Resistance, epidemiology and sustainable management of Rhynchosporium secalis populations on barley
(2008-02)
Rhynchosporium secalis is one of the most destructive pathogens of barley worldwide, causing yield decreases of up to 40% and reduced grain quality. Rhynchosporium is a polycyclic disease. Primary inoculum includes conidia ...
