Journal ArticleDOI
Potassium phosphite combined with reduced doses of fungicides provides efficient protection against potato late blight in large-scale field trials
Erland Liljeroth,Åsa Lankinen,Lars Wiik,Dharani Dhar Burra,Erik Alexandersson,Erik Andreasson +5 more
TL;DR: The data suggests that potassium phosphite could be used in potato cultivation in temperate regions such as in Sweden, at least in combinations with reduced rates of fungicides, as part of an IPM strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of temperature and precipitation on yield and plant diseases of winter wheat in southern Sweden 1983–2007
Lars Wiik,Torbjörn Ewaldz +1 more
TL;DR: The results confirm that weather data can be successfully used in wheat disease prediction models and find statistically significant correlations between incidence and severity were found for LBDs, brown rust and eyespot, but not for yellow rust and powdery mildew.
Journal ArticleDOI
The economics of fungicide use in winter wheat in southern Sweden
Lars Wiik,Håkan Rosenqvist +1 more
TL;DR: Fungicide use was in fact more profitable during the latter part of the period (1995-2007) than in the earlier part (1983-1994), and improved decision support systems in a holistic framework based on sound economics are urgently needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induced resistance in potato to Phytphthora infestans—effects of BABA in greenhouse and field tests with different potato varieties
TL;DR: Induced resistance with β-aminobutyric acid could be used in practice in combinations with fungicides in order to reduce the amount of toxic compounds under north European conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Yield and disease control in winter wheat in southern Sweden during 1977-2005.
TL;DR: Yield and 1000 grain weight data from 432 trials in farmers’ fields were evaluated to review long-term yields and control of eyespot and Leaf Blotch Diseases and the need for supervised control strategies including factors affecting disease, yield and interactions is confirmed.
