How growers make decisions impacts plant disease control
Whilst the spread of plant disease depends strongly on biological factors controlling transmission, epidemics clearly also have a human dimension. Disease control depends on decisions made by individual growers, who are in turn influenced by a broad range of factors. Despite this, human behaviour …

Yield Loss Models for Foliar Diseases of Alfalfa and Evaluation of Chemical and Cultural Disease Control Methods
Regression models relating various measures of disease level to yield were developed for the complex of fungi which cause foliar disease on alfalfa (Medicago sativa). The accuracy and precision of the models was evaluated using data other than those from which the models were constructed. Linear …
