The programme guides you to firstly choose a variety. You get descriptions of the varieties, such as expected yield and level of disease resistance and of course price. You then decide on your fungicide programme. Six times throughout the growing season, you can select from no fungicide or three fungicides with varying efficiency. Once the season is over, your score is announced, and a breakdown of costs, sale price and profit is displayed.
Plant pathologists can test their understanding of the costs and benefits of disease control.
Applying fungicide too late allows too much disease to develop, so you lose money. Dr Avice Hall, University of Hertfordshire. As a consumer, I have become increasingly disturbed at the confusing reports concerning Genetically Engineered Foods that occasionally appear in the press. Due to the growing number of consumer groups and religious organizations that are calling for a ban on GE foods, I feel that the only safe choice is to completely boycott all products which contain such ingredients and convert to buying organic. I think it is about time the American public was adequately informed about these new foods that are being forced down our throats.
