1. Plant disease epidemiologists strive for an understanding of the cause and effects of disease and develop strategies to intervene in situations where crop losses may occur.
2. For example, comparisons between patterns of disease progress for different diseases, cultivars, management strategies, or environmental settings can help in determining how plant diseases may best be managed.
3. Plant disease epidemiology is often looked at from a multi-disciplinary approach, requiring biological, statistical, agronomic and ecological perspectives.
4. Statistical models are often applied in order to summarize and describe the complexity of plant disease epidemiology, so that disease processes can be more readily understood.
5. Much like diseases of humans and other animals, plant diseases occur due to pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, oomycetes, nematodes, phytoplasmas, protozoa, and parasitic plants.
6. Plant disease epidemiology is the study of disease in plant populations.
7. Native species of plants may serve as reservoirs for pathogens that cause disease in crops.
8. Typically successful intervention will lead to a low enough level of disease to be acceptable, depending upon the value of the crop.
9. Agronomic practices often influence disease incidence for better or for worse.
10. It is also necessary for understanding the physiology of the crop and how the pathogen is adversely affecting it.
11. Biology is necessary for understanding the pathogen and its life cycle.
1. uninstalledit's very interesting and Assets Head startExcellent informative workit good sometimes it takes more timeUsing this for protection of firmly and udders tank's OKthis app doesn't work 😠😠😡Useless if you are not an expertthis may be a good one, but I have not gone through it yet.
2. it needs more basic problem info such as high salt levels or overwatering problems.I typed in the problem with my plant and all I got was please wait! If I had not backed out I would still be waiting.
3. I'm trying to see why one of my plants has brown on the tips of its leaves, but found other info instead.
4. I could have looked on wikipedia myself and saved time and data usage looking on this stupid app.
5. I was really hoping that I could find an answer to my question here.Only any good if know what looking for.
6. although it has some interesting info, all the info is from wikipedia.
7. So none of the info was done by any of the creators, it was just taken.
8. Black on leaves was all I had so no good for me.
9. This app is no help to someone that has know idea what there looking for.
10. There are many diseases related to crops, almost all in fact.
11. No search.
