Table 3. Parameter estimates of models, relating disease index of wheat powdery mildew to the area of the red edge peak (Σdr 680-760 nm) at three growth stages (GS) at the two plant densities in 2009–2010 and 2010–2011 seasons. a .

Season Density b 10.5.3 c 10.5.4 11.1

aThe disease index (DI) of wheat powdery mildew was a function of Σdr 680-760 nm, therefore DI = a×Σdr 680-760 nm + b.

bPlant density 1 and 2 represent 60 and 120 kg seed ha-1, respectively.

cGrowth stage using Feekes scale.
