Cotton seedling disease trials going in the ground…HERE WE GO! #plant23 Tom Allen MSU CALS/MAFES Mississippi Crops

Bulk soybean going in for foliar fungicide efficacy trials. I’ll do a little “disease dance”……hadn’t gotten much frogeye since 4744 was a “thing” Tessie Wilkerson #mscrops

Third year of the corn hybrid by fungicide by application timing Curvularia leaf spot trial Tessie Wilkerson #mscrops

Another year when some of the Rhizoctonia-inoculated plots make you gasp. Four row plot, stake in row 1, rows 1 and 2 received Rhizoctonia Tessie Wilkerson #mscrops

Our first report of Ramulariopsis pseudoglycines causing areolate mildew in MS and the US is now online apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/10.1094/PD… Tessie Wilkerson Alejandra Jimenez Subina Tripathi Kaitlyn Bissonnette Cotton Incorporated

Stem canker inoculation day. Now we just need the plants to show symptoms (or DIE….which is what plant pathologists love the most!). Thanks to MS SOYBEAN BOARD for the continued support of our variety screening program #mscrops #plantpathology Tessie Wilkerson

Taproot decline of soybean showing up in our inoculated field trials! With root diseases always pull plants up and examine the root for diagnosis. #xylaria #TRD MS SOYBEAN BOARD United Soybean Board MSU CALS/MAFES Tom Allen Trey Price Travis Faske Terry Spurlock

Post rain event is the best time to scout for Athelia rolfsii in soybean and peanut. Look close to the base of plants for the “showy signs” of the pathogen #southernblight #plantpathlove MS SOYBEAN BOARD MSU CALS/MAFES Tom Allen Subina Tripathi United Soybean Board @MSUpeanuts Trent Irby

Day 2 of some cotton seed trt trials, right before MORE rain in Stonevillle Michael Huoni Tessie Wilkerson #mscrops #cotton

Getting ready to inoculate our peanut field with Athelia rolfsii. 🥜 #DREC #StonevilleMS #MSU Tessie Wilkerson

Planting season tips: Riding on the planter for the day planting cotton in a wind and dust cloud isn’t sandblasting, it’s exfoliation #work_life #onlyatdrec #Stonevillebeach Tessie Wilkerson Michael Huoni

After adding inoculum we wait for that moment where the sides of the disease triangle collide and disease occurs!! Working on a large Xylaria/taproot decline project, funded by MS SOYBEAN BOARD and one of the objectives of a PhD project for Michael Huoni #onlyatdrec #mscrops Tessie Wilkerson

Because…..charcoal rot #charcoalrot Tessie Wilkerson

Down in the MS Delta today and saw my favorite disease for the first time in years: taproot decline caused by Xylaria necrophora
