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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Arable crop disease control, climate change and food security
(Association of Applied Biologists, 2011)
Global food security is threatened by crop diseases that account for average yield losses of 16%. Climate change is exacerbating threats to food security in much of the world, emphasising the need to increase food production ...
Resistance to Pyrenopeziza brassicae (light leaf spot) in Brassica napus
(2011)
Light leaf spot (caused by the hemibiotrophic Pyrenopeziza brassicae) is one of the most important diseases of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus) in northern Europe, including the UK. In controlled environment and field ...
