Protecting valuable resources using optimal control theory and feedback strategies for plant disease management
Mathematical models of tree diseases often have little to say about how to manage established epidemics. Models often show that it is too late for successful disease eradication, but few study what management could still be beneficial. This study focusses on finding effective control strategies for …
