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 ...
Symptomless infection by Rhynchosporium commune in relation to control of barley leaf blotch
(2011)
Rhynchosporium leaf blotch (caused by Rhynchosporium commune) is the most economically important disease of barley in the UK, but epidemics can be difficult to control with fungicides and the basis of cultivar resistance ...
Resistance to Rhynchosporium secalis in a cross between winter and spring barley
(2011)
Winter barley types shows higher levels of field resistance to R. secalis compared to spring barley varieties. In addition, barley leaves have been shown to tolerate relatively high levels of R. secalis colonisation in the ...
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. ...
