Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesSpatial Pattern of Natural Spread of Rice False Smut (Ustilaginoidea virens) Disease in FieldsBodrun Nessa, Moin U. Salam, A.H.M. Mahfuzul Haque et al.Pattern of disease spread provides improved knowledge on how the pathogen introduces itself and interacts with environment in fields and expresses as a disease. It is especially significant when epidemiology of a disease, such as Rice False Smut (RFSm), is unclearly understood. Not reported before, this study attempted an analysis of spatial pattern of natural spread of RFSm in nine … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 2 Jun 2015 · 8,648 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesFLYER: A Simple Yet Robust Model for Estimating Yield Loss from Rice False Smut Disease (Ustilaginoidea virens)Bodrun Nessa, Moin U. Salam, A.H.M. Mahfuzul Haque et al.Rice False Smut (RFSm) is presently an internationally important fungal disease of rice. While the Yield Loss (YL) from this disease is reported in many countries, there exists no tool to instantly estimate the YL by visual field inspection. This study developed a simple model, FLYER, for this purpose. The model is run by two inputs: (i) fraction of productive … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 21 Apr 2015 · 8,015 accessesView PDF Cite
