Temporal Aspects of the Development of Root Disease Epidemics

  • Chapter
Epidemiology and Management of Root Diseases

Abstract

Rather like an iceberg, much of the temporal dynamics of root disease epidemics remains hidden. Beneath the surface, there is a rich mass of inter- and intraspecific interactions that determine the dynamics of infection, disease, loss of yield and the generation and carryover of inoculum. The temporal dynamics of some of these interactions are discussed in this chapter. The roles of primary and secondary infection, of root growth and of survival of inoculum as well as antagonism by other microorganisms are examined. Some of the practical constraints imposed on epidemiological analyses by the shortage of data are also considered.
