The Use of Mathematical Models to Guide Fungicide Resistance Management Decisions
Historically, models have had little influence on decision-making in fungicide resistance management. The reasons are found in the level of abstraction of these models making it difficult for stakeholders to interpret them and inadequate connection between modelling and experimentation. Recently, ho...

| description | Historically, models have had little influence on decision-making in fungicide resistance management. The reasons are found in the level of abstraction of these models making it difficult for stakeholders to interpret them and inadequate connection between modelling and experimentation. Recently, however, the authors of this chapter have developed models in close collaboration with stakeholders and experimenters. These models range from simple functions representing governing principles of resistance evolution to complex models for quantitative studies. In this chapter we discuss the development and testing of these models. A governing principle is discussed predicting whether a change in a fungicide application programme will increase or decrease the rate of selection for fungicide resistance. Complex models are discussed that reflect sufficient biological detail to study specific plant-pathogen- fungicide combinations. Ultimately we describe the combined experimental and modelling work that is currently undertaken to informing resistance management methods. |
