Effects of different fungicides on the severity of phoma stem canker
(2014)Phoma stem canker, a disease of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) caused by sibling pathogens Leptosphaeria maculans and L. biglobosa. Both pathogens follow a monocylic disease cycle that causes leaf spotting in autumn/winter ... -
Determination of the pathogen population structure of Pyrenopeziza brassicae, causal agent of light leaf spot on brassicas
(2014)Light leaf spot, caused by the fungal pathogen Pyrenopeziza brassicae, is currently the major disease problem in oilseed rape production in the UK. Furthermore, P. brassicae can also be found on vegetable brassicas such ... -
A systems approach to the control of strawberry powdery mildew
