THE CRUCIFER BLACKLEG PATHOSYSTEM IN NATAL, SOUTH AFRICA |
| Author: | Mark D. Laing |
| Abstract:
Disease results from the interaction of four principal components : a crop, the farmer, a pathogen and the environment. Pathosystems analysis identifies the main, and interaction components of the disease, facilitating the development of a holistic disease control programme. Analysis of the Natal crucifer blackleg pathosystem reveals a complex relationship of the components, and identifies optimal disease control strategies. This particular pathosystem analysis provides a comprehensive model for most other crucifer diseases, and of several other vegetable diseases. | |
