DOI: 10.1002/ps.7422
Abstract: BACKGROUND Ants can become efficient biocontrol agents in plantation crops as they prey on pest insects and may inhibit plant pathogens by excreting broad-spectrum antibiotics. However, ants also provide a disservice by augmenting attended honeydew… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s41348-019-00239-3
Abstract: Apple scab prediction is based on the model of Mills which describes the risk of Venturia inaequalis infection using leaf wetness duration and air temperature data. The quality of prognosis relies on sensor quality. Six… read more here.

DOI: 10.1094/pdis-07-16-0994-re
Abstract: Ascospores of Venturia inaequalis, released from pseudothecia in overwintered, infected apple leaves, serve as the primary inoculum for apple scab. In this study, we tested a new sanitation strategy to reduce ascospore inoculum under orchard… read more here.
