Reducing the impact of Sclerotinia disease by determining optimum crop rotations using dynamic programming
Vosough Ahmadi, Bouda; Burnett, Fiona J; Young, Caroline S - Land Economy and Environment Group, Scotland's Rural College - 2013
Sclerotinia rot is a disease caused by the fungus Sclerotinina sclerotiorum which affects a wide range of crops and causes major yield and economic losses. Crop rotation is an important strategy for minimising losses. A dynamic programming (DP) model was developed to study the trade-offs between...
