The study was conducted for the purpose of improving the application of fungicides against potato late blight (Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary) (PLB) in processing tomato. The usability of coarse spray quality with double flat fan air induction IDKT12003 nozzle and the impact of fixed and variable spray volume and adjuvants during alternate application of azoxystrobin and chlorothalonil were analysed on the basis of plant infestation and fungicide residues. The variable spray volume was calculated based on the number of leaves on a plant. The study was conducted during three vegetation seasons. Spraying of plants with significantly flattened canopies during the peak of the fructification season using an IDKT12003 nozzle was as effective as in the case of fine spraying performed with an XR11003 nozzle and facilitated the increase of fungicides residue. In the case of plants with high-spreading canopy at the beginning of fructification, XR11003 nozzle favoured the reduction of PLB infestation. Both spray volume adjustment systems enabled the same level of protection of tomato against PLB, which could result from alternate application of systemic and contact fungicides. Polyalkyleneoxide modified heptamethyltrisiloxane adjuvant, which causes siginificant increase in wetting and droplet spreading, facilitated the reduction of tomato PLB infestation during the application of fungicides using an IDKT12003 nozzle.

This thesis studies subclasses of the class of H-matrices and their applications, with emphasis on the investigation of the Schur complement properties. The contributions of the thesis are new nonsingularity results, bounds for the maximum norm of the inverse matrix, closure properties of some matrix classes under taking Schur complements, as well as results on localization and separation of the eigenvalues of the Schur complement based on the entries of the original matrix., Докторска дисертација изучава поткласе класе Х-матрица и њихове примене, првенствено у истраживању својстава Шуровог комплемента. Оригиналан допринос тезе представљају нови услови за регуларност матрица, оцене максимум норме инверзне матрице, резултати о затворености појединих класа матрица на Шуров комплемент, као и резултати о локализацији и сепарацији карактеристичних корена Шуровог комплемента на основу елемената полазне матрице., Doktorska disertacija izučava potklase klase H-matrica i njihove primene, prvenstveno u istraživanju svojstava Šurovog komplementa. Originalan doprinos teze predstavljaju novi uslovi za regularnost matrica, ocene maksimum norme inverzne matrice, rezultati o zatvorenosti pojedinih klasa matrica na Šurov komplement, kao i rezultati o lokalizaciji i separaciji karakterističnih korena Šurovog komplementa na osnovu elemenata polazne matrice.
