Abstract:
Windows simulation game in which students have to minimise the damage caused to their potato crop by the
fungus Phytophthors infestans. The student specifies the initial potato variety, environmental factors, inoculum,
management schedule, costs and market selling price. The effect of their decision can be displayed graphically as
the season progresses in terms of percentage blight, defoliation, new infections, numbers of spores and fugicidal
residues. A financial report can be generated at the end of each growing period. Available via Lancaster by FTP.
