New Technology Architecture and Strategy for Early Crop Disease Detection
… required to meet the challenge of devastating disease outbreaks in global agriculture. In particular, systemic, whole-plant methods of early crop disease detection are needed to effectively manage crop diseases that have long asymptomatic period and localized infection, such as the devastating …

Modelling spatial strategies for the durable deployment of crop disease resistance
Maximising the durability of crop disease resistance genes in the face of pathogen evolution is a major challenge in modern agricultural epidemiology. Spatial diversification in the deployment of resistance genes, where susceptible and resistant fields are more closely intermixed, is predicted to …

Legacy effects of cover crop monocultures and mixtures on soil inorganic nitrogen, total phenolic content, and microbial communities on two organic farms in Illinois
Cover crops can leave behind legacy effects on their soil environments by influencing soil inorganic nitrogen (N) pools, total phenolic content through the release of secondary compounds, and by altering soil microbial communities. I analyzed soils collected during a two-year field study and aimed …

Approaches towards disease resistance to filamentous pathogens
… capsidiol and synthetic NLR immune receptors as disease resistance approaches against oomycete and fungal plant pathogens. The production of phytoalexins constitutes an important aspect of plant defence. Capsidiol, a pepper phytoalexin, differentially inhibits the growth of two Phytophthora …

Deep Learning for Early Detection, Identification, and Spatiotemporal Monitoring of Plant Diseases Using Multispectral Aerial Imagery
<p>Production of food crops is hampered by the proliferation of crop diseases which cause huge harvest losses. Current crop-health monitoring programs involve the deployment of scouts and experts to detect and identify crop diseases through visual observation. These monitoring schemes are expensive …
