Assessment of crop loss due to multiple diseases and pests (D&P) is a necessary step in
designing sustainable crop management systems. Understanding the drivers of D&P …

Plant pathology must contribute to improving food security in a safe operating space, which
is shrinking as a result of declining natural resources, climate change, and the growing …

Shade effects on coffee rust are controversial, possibly because shade helps to prevent high
fruit loads, which decreases leaf receptivity to the pathogen but, at the same time, might …

Canopy‐level interactions have been largely ignored in epidemiological models and their
applications in defining disease risks under climate change, although these interactions are …

As any epidemic on plants is driven by the amount of susceptible tissue, and the distance
between organs, any modification in the host population, whether quantitative or qualitative …

Strategic spatial patterning of crop species and cultivars could make agricultural landscapes
less vulnerable to plant disease epidemics, but experimentation to explore effective disease …

Plant pathogens respond to selection pressures exerted by disease management strategies.
This can lead to fungicide resistance and/or the breakdown of disease-resistant cultivars …

Abstract Coffee Leaf Rust (CLR) is a disease that leads to considerable losses in the
worldwide coffee industry; as those that have been reported recently in Colombia and …

To reduce the use of pesticides, innovative studies have been developed to introduce the
plant as the centre of the crop protection system. The aim of this paper is to explain how …

Crop health management systems can be designed according to practices that help to
reduce crop losses by restricting pathogen development and promoting host plant growth. A …
