Profile

Working area

Epidemiological characterisation of the resistance of cereals to fungal leaf pathogens under the influence of genotype-environment interactions with emphasis on the barley leaf scald and net blotch pathosystems.

Virulence- and pathotype composition of barley leaf scald populations.

Disease forecasting models for decision support.

Methodological studies on disease assessment to characterise resistance and virulence.

Ongoing projects:

Resistance to foliar- and seed transmitted pathogens on cereals. Collaboration between Danish Variety Testing Station, Tystofte, Danish Agricultural Advisory Service and Department for Crop Protection, Flakkebjerg, 2000-2002.

Improved decision support models for cereal diseases
