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…

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. r4pde.net/prediction-disease…

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! r4pde.net/prediction-disease…

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 @BorisCamiletti

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! r4pde.net/data-remote-sensin…

We received 35 applications to my Plant Disease Epidemiology course (FIP 602), including academic mobility and degree holders (the large majority) from all over the world. We will be checking the documentation and further selecting the candidates. Stay tuned!
