Phyllachora maydis is an emerging disease in the United States and Canada. @CheckJill et al. described the environmental drivers of spore release and dispersal to fill current knowledge gaps in the tar spot disease cycle. 🌽 @MartinChilvers1 Learn more: doi.org/10.1094/PHYTO-…

It’s a trap—part two! This special report provides a guide to designing and constructing rotating-arm impaction air samplers. @CheckJill @MLSakalidis @MartinChilvers1 @Tmiles_MSU Read the full article > doi.org/10.1094/PDIS-0…

Such an honor, thanks to all the coauthors! You can also check out our research summary with @CropNetwork cropprotectionnetwork.org/publications/h…

I’m so grateful to get to work with @BeckstersLab96 and @PhytoaLEXIn_12 on this review article! Make sure to check out part 2 detailing how we construct our impaction samplers apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/10.1094/PD…

It’s a trap! This feature article by Jill Check et al. discusses applications of rotating-arm air samplers to demonstrate their versatility, potential, and limitations in plant pathology research. @CheckJill @MLSakalidis @MartinChilvers1 @Tmiles_MSU doi.org/10.1094/PDIS-1…

"The...significant effect of hybrid susceptibility on disease severity and yield suggests...use of genetic resistance may be more effective in tar spot...management than altering plant density." From the @planthealthprog article doi.org/10.1094/PHP-12… by @CheckJill @MSUSoilFert @MartinChilvers1 and others. @MSUEFieldCrops @MSUExtension @MSUDiagnostics @DTelenko @alisonrISU @KSUCropdiseases @MandyBish1 @maddishires @badgercropdoc @tjcksn

The models that run the Tarspotter Disease Prediction App are now peer-reviewed and published! Moderate temperatures and intermittent moisture push disease. Nice work by @W_Webster74 & @camilanicolli leading the way on this large project. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Thank you everyone who stopped by my poster at #PlantHealth2023 to talk Sclerotinia, predictive modeling and machine learning with me!

We had so much fun, thank you for coming!

Exciting news! We developed a method to induce infection of Phyllachora maydis into corn #tarspot 🌽 and it's now available online. Take a look and find the detailed method: doi.org/10.1186/s13007… @UMNMITPPC @ILplantdoc @EmRogge @CheckJill @cruzepidemiolab @UMNPlantPath

Get ready for an exhilarating #PlantHealth2023 workshop that delves into the fascinating world of vineyard pathogen dispersal! Join us as we explore the cutting-edge technology of low-cost rotating-arm impaction samplers. View details and register: events.rdmobile.com/Sessions/Detai…

And you get a spore trap! And you get a spore trap! APS 2023 Denver attendees— sign up for our workshop to learn how to design, build, and deploy your own impaction air sampler. You get to hang out with me, @BeckstersLab96 , @CheckJill , AND Twitterless Walt Mahaffee (USDA-ARS)

@DTelenko & colleagues compared fungicides commonly used for foliar disease management in U.S. corn production to gauge efficacy against tar spot. 🔓 for a limited time: doi.org/10.1094/PHP-10… @ILplantdoc @MartinChilvers1 @jillcheckMSU @EmRogge @TiffannaR @badgercropdoc

Next up for the #PlantHealth2022 climate change webinar, we had both @SpartySpudNBeet and Younsuk Dong talking about changes in precipitation and irrigation in Michigan and how this might impact the pathogens affecting potatoes #sketchnotes
