Stochastic variation and probabilistic model - estimating frequency of fungicide resistant phenotype in plant pathogen population

Abstract

Methodological aspects of stochastic variation were considered on example of bioassay for estimation of fungicide resistance(KADISH & COHEN 1988). The corresponding probabilistic model for measuring frequency of fungicide resistantphenotype in a plant pathogen population was developed. Unpredictable relationships between estimates from the modeland the experimental results were observed.
