Effects of disease control by fungicides on greenhouse gas emissions by UK arable crop production
(2011-09)
Background: The UK government has published plans to reduce UK agriculture's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. At the same time, the goal of global food security requires an increase in arable crop yields. Foliar disease ...
Effects of fungicide on growth of Leptosphaeria maculans and L. biglobosa in relation to development of phoma stem canker on oilseed rape (Brassica napus)
(2011-08)
Controlled-environment and field experiments were done to investigate effects of the fungicide Punch C (flusilazole plus carbendazim) on growth of Leptosphaeria maculans and L. biglobosa in oilseed rape. In controlled-environment ...
Erratum: The impact of climate change on disease constraints on production of oilseed rape (vol 2, pg 143, 2010)
(2011-03)
Weather data generated for different parts of the UK under five climate change scenarios (baseline, 2020s low CO2 emissions, 2020s high emissions, 2050s low emissions, 2050s high emissions) was inputted into weather-based ...
Impacts of changing air composition on severity of arable crop disease epidemics
(2011-02)
This review assesses the impacts, both direct and indirect, of man-made changes to the composition of the air over a 200 year period on the severity of arable crop disease epidemics. The review focuses on two well-studied ...
Invasion by Leptosphaeria maculans (phoma stem canker on brassicas) : from genome to worldwide crop
(2011)
Leptosphaeria maculans and L. biglobosa, which cause phoma stem canker disease, are related pathogens of brassicas that were originally considered as one species but occupy slightly different ecological niches and are now ...
Effects of fungicide on growth of Leptosphaeria maculans and L. biglobosa (phoma stem canker) in oilseed rape
(2011)
Controlled environment (CE) and field experiments were done to investigate effects of fungicide on growth of L. maculans and L. biglobosa in relation to development of phoma leaf spots and phoma stem canker on oilseed rape. ...
Effects of Leptosphaeria maculans race structure and fitness cost of virulence on management of phoma stem canker of oilseed rape
(2011)
Fitness of virulent (avrLm1 and avrLm4) or avirulent (AvrLm1 and AvrLm4) isolates of Leptosphaeria maculans on Brassica napus without the corresponding resistance genes Rlm1 and Rlm4 was investigated in controlled environment ...
Disease control on UK winter oilseed rape contributes to climate change mitigation
(2011)
The UK government has published plans to reduce UK agriculture‟s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. At the same time, the goal of food security requires an increase in arable crop yields. Foliar disease control measures such ...
Impacts of climate change on wheat anthesis and fusarium ear blight in the UK
(2011)
Climate change will affect both growth of agricultural crops and diseases that attack them but there has been little work to study how its impacts on crop growth influence impacts on disease epidemics. This paper investigates ...
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 ...
