Coupling plant growth models, application on pest & disease models: an interaction structure proposal
When a plant is attacked by a pest or a disease, different effects can be observed on
the yield and/or on the different organs that have been affected by the pest. In order to
represent and simulate these effects, different works were done on the interaction
between plant growth model and its environment, or plant-pathogen (Qi et al., 2009),
plant-climate or plant-plant (Gaudio et al., 2021). The literature on plant-pathogen
coupling is poorer regarding combined biotic and abiotic stress dynamics (Louarn et
al., 2020). A classic way to approach model interactions is to test them within each
other, but this approach is specific to each use-case and difficult to generalize (Garin
et al., 2014). Here, we propose to develop a formalism allowing to highlight all the
coupling effects on the dynamics of all the models involved over a large timescale
(theoretically, throughout the plant’s lifespan).
