Modeling of yield Losses and risk analysis of fungicide profitability for managing Fusarium Head Blight in Brazilian spring wheat

This study models yield losses and analyzes the profitability of fungicides for managing Fusarium Head Blight in Brazilian wheat, finding that one spray of triazole fungicide is more profitable than two sprays.

Modeling the relationship between estimated foliar fungicide use and soybean yield losses due to foliar fungal diseases in the United States

The paper models the relationship between foliar fungicide use and soybean yield losses in the U.S., finding a quadratic relationship with yield losses initially increasing, then decreasing with higher fungicide use.
