During the past decade, imagery data acquired from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs),
thanks to their high spatial, spectral, and temporal resolutions, have attracted increasing …

Wheat stripe rust (caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) is a major threat in most wheat
growing regions worldwide, which potentially causes substantial yield losses when …

Projected climate changes will affect wheat crop production both in the main processes of
plant growth and development but also in the occurrences and severities of plant diseases …

Both weather fluctuation and farming system influence the epidemiology of crop diseases.
However, short-term experiments are difficult to mechanistically extrapolate into long-term …

Leaf rust is a devastating disease in wheat crop. The disease forecasting models can
facilitate the economic and effective use of fungicides and assist in limiting crop yield losses …

Theoretical description of epidemics of plant diseases is an invaluable resource for their
efficient management. Here we propose a mathematical model for describing the dispersal …

The critical success index (CSI) is an established metric used in meteorology to verify the
accuracy of weather forecasts. It is defined as the ratio of hits to the sum of hits, false alarms …

We evaluated the cost effectiveness of a decision–support system (DSS) developed for
assessing in real time the risk of progression of the main fungal diseases (ie, Septoria leaf …

In order to better understand the epidemiology of Puccinia triticina and the relationship
between airborne inoculum and disease severity, a method for quantifying airborne …

Crop pathogens are known to rapidly adapt to agricultural practices. Although cultivar
resistance breakdown and resistance to pesticides have been broadly studied, little is …
