loadCultivar: Load a cultivar

In landsepi: Landscape Epidemiology and Evolution

Load a cultivar

Description

create a data.frame containing cultivar parameters depending of his type

Usage

loadCultivar(name, type = "wheat")

Arguments

name	a character string (without space) specifying the cultivar name.
type	the cultivar type, among: "wheat" (default), "grapevine", "banana", "pepper" or "nonCrop".

Details

• "wheat" is adapted to situations where the infection unit is a piece of leaf (e.g. where a fungal lesion can develop); the number of available infection units increasing during the season due to plant growth (as typified by cereal crops).

• "grapevine" corresponds to parameters for grapevine (including host growth).

• "banana" corresponds to parameters for banana (including host growth).

• "pepper" corresponds to situations where the infection unit is the whole plant (e.g. for viral systemic infection); thus the number of infection units is constant.

• "nonCrop" is not planted, does not cost anything and does not yield anything (e.g. forest, fallow).

Value

a dataframe of parameters associated with each host genotype (i.e. cultivars, lines) when cultivated in pure crops.
