IT'S WATERMELON DAY 🍉 #Watermelon trials are wrapping up at our #research station in Clayton, NC where Hunter Collins has been conducting fungicide trials to help #farmers deal with fusarium wilt. Watermelons are just some of the #veggies NC State Veggie Pathology studies to help #growers

Learning about #sweetpotato southern blight management from Jack Mascarenhas at #PlantHealth2023! NC State Veggie Pathology N.C. Plant Sciences Initiative NCSU Entomology & Plant Pathology

Excellent talk on Oxtp resistance in cucurbit downy mildew at #APSplanthealth2023! Great Job Mariana Prieto Torres! NC State Veggie Pathology N.C. Plant Sciences Initiative NCSU Entomology & Plant Pathology

Great posters on cucurbit downy mildew and sweetpotato Fusarium mycotoxins by @MdZiaurRahmanB1 and Usha Bhatta. NC State Veggie Pathology N.C. Plant Sciences Initiative NCSU Entomology & Plant Pathology

Back to the real world after #PlantHealth2023. I found a rock that looks like a #sweetpotato while pulling weeds in a sweetpotato field!

Very excited to see these news! Hunter Collins in our lab did so much work with Salibro/Reklemel in #sweetpotato years ago, glad it will soon be a tool for our growers and @AdrienneGorny when facing M. enterolobii NC SweetPotatoes NC State Extension N.C. Plant Sciences Initiative The IR-4 Project FINDMe

Had the opportunity to share some sweetpotato pathology info at the Sweetpotato Field Day yesterday. Jack Mascarenhas and @KellyJAvilam did a great job presenting posters! NC State Veggie Pathology N.C. Plant Sciences Initiative

Great talk about #sweetpotato Southern blight management and fungicide residues by Jack Mascarenhas at the 2024 National Sweetpotato Collaborators Group Annual Meeting! NC State Veggie Pathology N.C. Plant Sciences Initiative

Great talk by Jack Mascarenhas about #sweetpotato southern blight and fungicide residues to kick off the student competition at the 101st APS Southern Division Meeting! NC State Veggie Pathology N.C. Plant Sciences Initiative NCSU Entomology & Plant Pathology

Stop by poster spot #1 to see my work on developing a RPA assay for Phytophthora capsici at 2024 APS SouthernDivision 🎉 NC State Veggie Pathology NCSU Entomology & Plant Pathology #SDAPS2024

If you are curious how #sweetpotato packing lines work, or can be improved, come see my poster at the APS Southern Division Meeting! NC State Veggie Pathology N.C. Plant Sciences Initiative NCSU Entomology & Plant Pathology

Look at Hunter Collins pretty Watermelon Fusarium wilt trial! I was worried the recent heat would not let the pathogen infect our fungicide efficacy trial, but FON didn’t disappoint, check those wilts 👀 🍉 N.C.

Very interesting talk by Camilo Parada 🦋 @cahuparo.bsky.socia about using CRISPR to identify phytophthora species! NC State Veggie Pathology Botany & Plant Pathology

Found this while harvesting peppers from a P. capsici trial! While likely not happy that I removed it from home, it was at least kind enough to leave me alone. Also, wash your fruits and veggies! NC State Veggie Pathology N.C. Plant Sciences Initiative NCSU Entomology & Plant Pathology
