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 ...
Pathogenicity to wheat and rye of Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides isolates from France and the UK
(1989-01)
Isolates of Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides from France and the U.K. were tested for pathogenicity to wheat and rye seedlings in parallel controlled-environment experiments in both countries. There was no difference ...
