Using Modelling to Optimise the Use of Biological Control Agents Against Soil-Borne Plant Pathogens
… control agents as a control strategy against plant pathogens. However, significant variability in their success at pathogen suppression across field trials has resulted in them often not being seen as commercially viable. This thesis uses mathematical modelling to explore the interactions …

Interactions among tree species and pathogen-suppressive bacteria in tropical forest soils
In tropical forests, soil-borne plant pathogens are thought to regulate diversity by driving negative plant-soil feedbacks and promoting density-dependent mortality of seedlings close to parent trees. Pathogens interact with a myriad of other organisms in soil that have the potential to moderate …

Evaluation of anaerobic soil disinfestation using brewers spent grain and yeast inoculation in annual hill plasticulture strawberry production
Anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) is a promising alternative to chemical fumigation to control soil-borne plant pathogens and weeds. This research focused on evaluating several locally available carbon sources for ASD on weed control, evaluating the performance of brewers' spent grain (a …

Ecological assessments of Pseudomonas communities in pastoral soils: implications for disease suppression and sustainable production in agricultural grasslands
… services such as ensuring water quality and soil carbon storage. An increasing proportion of grasslands are being used to support grazing livestock, with agricultural grasslands covering over 25% of the Earth’s ice-free land surface. Despite the increasing economic value of pasture-derived …
