Development of a decision support system for phoma and light leaf spot in winter oilseed rape ("password "project)
Series: Home-Grown Cereals Authority Project Report ; No. 357Publication details: London: Home-Grown Cereals Authority (HGCA), 2004Subject(s): Cereal farming | Cereal farming, cereals marketing, grainsSummary: Pests and diseases in winter oilseed rape cause serious loss of yield and quality. Losses, predominantly from diseases, are estimated to exceed £80 million/annum in some years. These losses have occurred despite an annual expenditure of about £3.5 million on insecticides and £9 million on fungicides. Decision-making is difficult because of complex spatial and temporal variation in pest and disease problems and improved guidance is required. The main objective of this project was to develop a decision support system for both pest and disease control in oilseed rape.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
