Modelling the dynamics of Verticillium dahliae

  • Chapter
Potato Ecology And modelling of crops under conditions limiting growth

Part of the book series: Current Issues in Production Ecology ((CIPE,volume 3))

Abstract

Models dealing with Verticillium dahliae focus either on simple models which relate inoculum density to disease incidence and yield loss or on complex models handling the whole life cycle of V. dahliae. From the published literature on the relation between inoculum density and disease incidence no general model appears, which may have its origin in the various methodological approaches. Five complex models have been published: two crop loss models, one mechanistic model, and two decision models. Many complex models have limited practical value because of problems with calibration. They should be considered as quantitative summaries of the present knowledge. Coupling the effects of biotic stress factors on radiation interception and radiation use efficiency has shown to be a simple way to introduce multiple biotic stress factors in one model.
