Figure 6. Economics of roguing.

Figure 6

(a) Responses of the total yield, Inline graphic, and the total number of visits to individual plants, Inline graphic, (shown in inset) both over the twenty year nominal lifetime of the grove, to the roguing interval, Inline graphic. The initial level of infection Inline graphic was 4%. (b) The profit, Inline graphic, as a function of Inline graphic, when the relative cost of surveying, Inline graphic, is fixed at Inline graphic, again for Inline graphic. The distribution of profit when there is no roguing is shown in the histogram in the inset. (c) Responses of Inline graphic to Inline graphic for different values of Inline graphic. The black dots denote the roguing interval for which maximum profitability was attained. In all cases Inline graphic. (d) The maximum Inline graphic, and the value of Inline graphic at which this maximum profit was attained (inset), for a range of values of Inline graphic and for different values of Inline graphic.
