Title
Accounting for periods of wetness in displacement of Fusarium pseudograminearum from cereal straw

Other claims from this paper (3)
- Intervention effect Displacement of F. pseudograminearum was higher with short wetting durations (4 h) than with longer ones (10 h) for the same cumulative wetness.
- Association Rainday-degree heat sums gave good fits to short-term displacement data under natural conditions.
- Association Rainday-degree, decomposition-day and corrected degree-day indices were equally satisfactory for modelling straw decomposition and Fusarium mortality.
