I am trying to model Early Blight infection on potato crops.

For this I will need some information on several parameters of the species involved.

My list so far includes :

Latent and infectious period

Time to sporulation

Length of sporulation

Amount of spores produced from lesion/area (both in total and in each sporulation cycle)

I have thought of some ways of obtaining the data from detached leaf assays. Most of the ways though would be invasive which would mean I cannot get repeated measurements from the same leaf each time.

Does anyone have any experience with getting this information ? Could you point me to any relevant literature ?

Thank you
