Integration of breeding and technology into diversification strategies for disease control in modern agriculture

2008-07-01

Abstract excerpt

While diversity for resistance has been recognised for more than 60 years as a key factor in disease management, and diversification strategies such as cultivar mixtures and multilines are described and advocated in almost every plant pathology textbook, the general view in modern agriculture is that diversity would be too difficult and expensive to implement. In addition, difficulties in marketing the produce are...
