loadPathogen.RdLoads default pathogen parameters for a specific disease
loadPathogen(disease = "rust")a disease name, among "rust" (default), "mildew", "sigatoka" and "no pathogen"
a list of pathogen parameters on a susceptible host for a pathogen genotype not adapted to resistance
Available diseases:
"no pathogen"
"rust" (genus Puccinia, e.g. stripe rust, stem rust and leaf rust of wheat and barley)
"mildew" (Plasmopara viticola, downy mildew of grapevine)
"sigatoka" (Pseudocercospora fijiensis, black sigatoka of banana) Note that when disease = "mildew" a price reduction between 0% and 5% is applied to the market value according to disease severity.
