Abstract
Botanical epidemiology deals with outbreaks of pests, using the word ‘pest’ in a broad sense. These outbreaks, which may be once-only or recurrent, have specific characteristics in time and space. Temporal and spatial parameters of epidemics depend on intrinsic and extrinsic characteristics of the pest organism involved. Among the intrinsic characteristics are perennation and dispersal abilities. Among the extrinsic characteristics are cropping patterns and ‘green bridge’ effects. There exists a geography of crops and pests, and of their combinations in ‘pathosystems’, and there may be a geographic component in the management of such pathosystems, at different scales of time and space. A coarse-grained geographical pattern may contain fine-grained patterns, as exemplified by ‘recommendation domains’. Such patterns, at different levels of resolution, warrant a fresh, holistic approach to eco-regional crop protection problems.
