I’m grateful for the opportunity to discuss the challenges of variable environments with Joaquin Guillermo Ramirez Gil, Gongora-Canul, Emerson Del Ponte, and C. D. Cruz in support of healthy food systems during our meeting in Colombia. Thanks to ICA Colombia, GIZ, Sede Bogotá - Universidad Nacional de Colombia,UF/IFAS Plant Pathology Department

🚜🌱 Days 1 & 2 of our South America visit were successful! Discussed next-gen phytosanitary surveillance at Universidad Nacional de Colombia, followed by 🌾📊 an #ICAColombia initiative funded by GIZ via Global i4Ag. #Innovation Joaquin Guillermo Ramirez Gil Emerson Del Ponte Gongora-Canul Jacobo Robledo

Great discussions with Emerson Del Ponte, Gongora-Canul, and Joaquin Guillermo Ramirez Gil on advancing innovation and collaboration in plant disease epidemiology. Looking forward to the future! #OneHealth #DataDrivenAg

My first first-author paper is out in PLOS Comp Biol! 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/ploscompbiol/a…

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-se…

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 Boris X Camiletti

Love to see this addition to Emerson’s R4PDE!

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-dis…

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-dis…

🌱 Upcoming Webinar on Rust Management! Save the Date: October 30 at 8:00 a.m. CT 🔗Registration is open! Don’t wait—secure your spot today: tinyurl.com/SIL-webinar-se… and prepare to learn from the leading experts in the field.

Mark you calendars, we have a panel of excellent experts Ed Sikora of Auburn University , Emerson Del Ponte of UFV and Andrew Baluku of Asili Agriculture to help us understand the sentinel plot approach for #soybeanrust management. See you there!! IITA, 2Blades,Soybean Diseases.

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 Emerson Del Ponte makes it fun and challenging, we just need grains diseases and damage added! Try it out ➡️delponte.shinyapps.io/traineR2/

I will no longer be posting here. You can find me on Bluesky at Emerson Del Ponte.bsky.social
