Defining appropriate policies for controlling the spread of fungal disease in agricultural landscapes requires appropriate theoretical models. Most existing models for the fungicidal control of plant diseases do not explicitly include the dynamics of the fungicide itself, nor do they consider the impact of infection occurring during the host growth phase. We introduce a modelling framework for ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are critical links in plant-soil continuum and play a critical role in soil carbon cycles. Soil respiration, one of the largest carbon fluxes in global carbon cycle, is sensitive to precipitation change in semiarid ecosystems. In this study, a field experiment with fungicide application and water addition was conducted during 2010-2013 in a semiarid steppe in ...

The late blight disease caused by the fungus Phytophthora infestans is a serious pest of solanaceous crops capable of destroying a complete harvest. Therefore it is heavily treated with fungicides, especially in areas where the knowledge among farmers about application and impacts of fungicides is generally low, as it is the case in Nepal. In order to derive efficient treatment strategies with ...

Stem rust caused by Puccinia graminis f.sp tritici Erik. & E. Henn. is a highly destructive disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The effects of fungicide application on stem rust (Puccinia graminis tritici) epidemics and yield of three bread wheat varieties varying in reaction to the disease were studied in two major wheat growing and stem rust prone districts (Agarfa and Sinana) of Bale, E...

Root rot disease caused by the fungus Phytophthora capsici can cause up to 60% yield loss of pepper in West Kalimantan, which is spread across Singkawang, Bengkayang, Pontianak, Sintang, and Sekadau Regencies. Control BPB chemically with fungicide considered be effective enough suppress both vitro field. This study aims examine effectiveness several active ingredients that are widely used contr...

This is a report of research to test the impact fungicide and management on wheat yield quality. Fusarium head blight (FHB), or scab, persistent problem in production, especially high rainfall areas such as eastern Kansas. Two cultivars winter varying FHB sensitivity (Everest, moderately resistant, KanMark, susceptible) were tested for control using treatments made seed prior planting plant at ...
