Expanding growers' choice of disease management options can promote suboptimal social outcomes

This study expands disease management options in game-theoretic models to explore how crop subsidies can influence grower behavior and promote socially-optimal outcomes during epidemics.

Tolerant crops increase growers' yields but promote selfishness: how the epidemiology of disease resistant and tolerant varieties affect grower behaviour

The paper models how disease-resistant and tolerant crop varieties influence grower behavior and population-scale disease dynamics through strategic decision-making.

How growers make decisions impacts plant disease control.

This paper models how grower decision-making based on perceived profitability affects participation in clean seed systems for Cassava Brown Streak Disease, showing that misperceptions and information availability influence disease dynamics.

Spatiotemporal dynamics and modelling support the case for area-wide management of citrus greasy spot in a Brazilian smallholder farming region

This study characterizes the spatiotemporal dynamics of citrus greasy spot in Brazil and introduces a model to support area-wide disease management strategies.
