Strategies for integrated deployment of host resistance and fungicides to sustain effective crop protection
Summary
Strategies for integrated deployment of host resistance and fungicides to sustain effective crop protection
Background
Integrated control is widely believed to lead to more durable control than reliance on one control option. The evolution of fungicide insensitivity and the evolution of virulence are virtually always studied in isolation, whereas in practice the processes interact. The project builds on our previous experimental and modelling work on the evolution of fungicide insensitivity (van den Bosch & Gilligan 2008, Hobbelen et al. 2011) and the evolution of virulence (van den Bosch & Gilligan 2003; Lo Iacono et al. 2012). This project is co-funded by the Horticulture and Potato Initiative (HAPI).
