Abstract EN
In agroecosystems, crop yield is reduced by epidemics.
At the field scale, epidemiology succeeded knowledge percolation across theory, empirical studies, and recommendations to actors.
Achieving similar success at the landscape level requires understanding of ecosystems.
The aim of this manuscript is to formalize cyclic epidemics, in which development depends on interaction in space and in time between host plants, pathogens, environment, and human actions.
In agroecosystems, human actions exacerbate homogeneities alternating with sharp discontinuities on scales of time and space.
The dynamics of cyclic epidemics takes discontinuities into account.
This allows decomposing control at the field and at the landscape scales into goals to reach, corresponding to the components of the pluriannual dynamics of epidemics.
Articulating disciplinary concepts open the prospect of optimization by identification of one’s potential contributions.
Finally, we propose that cyclic epidemics could be controlled by looking for a local solution, in a decentralized manner.
