Test your skills in scoring plant diseases! 🌱 Estimating the % of leaf affected by damage like disease lesions or insect chewing is tricky—but this app by @edelponte makes it fun and challenging, we just need grains diseases and damage added! Try it out ➡️delponte.shinyapps.io/traine…

Mark you calendars, we have a panel of excellent experts @alabamaED of @AuburnU , @edelponte of @ufvbr and Andrew Baluku of Asili Agriculture to help us understand the sentinel plot approach for #soybeanrust management. See you there!!
@IITA_CGIAR, @2blades,@soydisease.

I've updated the chapter on plant disease modeling, showcasing methods for variable creation and selection using both window-pane and functional data analysis. I've also added a section on model fitting with logistic regression.

My first first-author paper is out in @PLOSCompBiol! Read about why including aphid vector behavior is important for modelling NPT plant virus transmission, in particular when the virus is manipulating plant host phenotype: journals.plos.org/ploscompbi…
A new chapter of R4PDE is under development: plant disease modeling. The current version shows how to fit a nonlinear model to infection data. Planning to show variable selection methods and model fitting to field data. Let me know what else to add!

Exploring the "Pliman" R package to measure root area in a growth chamber experiment. We assessed the effects of treatments of Red Crown Rot in soybeans with just a few lines of R code. Great tool for photo analysis! Smart Plant Path - University of Illinois

Love to see this addition to Emerson’s R4PDE!
My R for Plant Epidemiology (R4PDE) book has its first contributed chapter - remote sensing applied to disease detection and quantification. Big thanks to Prof. Ivan Lizarazo from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia for putting it together!
