My supervisor @edmhill.bsky.social did a great thread going more in-depth when we released our preprint a few months ago

IPM is a set of sustainable measures that can be used to monitor, prevent and control crop disease, and is a major alternative to pesticide use.

We use STB in wheat as a case study to model growers' yield outcomes under IPM. Future work will look at profitability and adoption behaviour.

Modelling the effectiveness of Integrated Pest Management strategies for the control of Septoria tritici blotch Author summary With the UK Government seeking to reduce the environmental risk posed by pesticides, the agricultural industry is under increasing pressure to explore alternative methods of disease con...

My first paper got published a couple of weeks ago! It's part of my PhD work on modelling Integrated Pest Management adoption.

I've presented the work at a few conferences this summer; EFPP2025, a BES Symposium, BMC-BAMC2025 and most recently IDDconf 2025.

Slide about the Queer Equality and Diversity Network for mathematicians and applied mathematicians

Great to hear about this community initiative in the field of maths and applied maths to increase equality and diversity in the field.

❓ How effective may Integrated Pest Management controls be against Septoria (a damaging disease on UK winter wheat)?

📄 Our modelling study is now published in PLOS Computational Biology @plos.org

Nice presentation at #EFPP2025 by @uni-of-warwick.bsky.social PhD student @emrvincent.bsky.social! Very relevant work modelling the effectiveness of IPM for Septoria tritici and comparing with conventional fungicide control under different scenarios. Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
