Webinar - 'Outsmarting the outbreaks: predictive models to protect plant health’
Tuesday, 16th July, 4pm to 5pm (UK time) - in Microsoft Teams.
Stephen Parnell is a plant disease epidemiologist and modeller based at the Warwick Crop Centre and Zeeman Institute for infectious disease epidemiology.
Epidemics of plant destroying pests and diseases are on the rise due to the ever-increasing movement of people and plants around the planet. These pests and diseases can destroy plants in natural environments, such as forests, or in agricultural crops, impacting our ability to produce food.
Stephen will talk about his group's research to develop mathematical and computer models to predict how these pests and diseases spread through plant populations and use of the models to test out strategies to detect and control them.
