Belayneh A. Yimer et al. found that most of the wheat varieties grown in Idaho were susceptible to local #Fusarium head blight isolates. However, researchers identified a few varieties as potential sources for regional resistance: https://doi.org/10.1094/PHP-06-25-0161-RS
Sclerotinia stem rot on winter canola in Alabama. The fungal disease causes bleached stems & lodging. Pathogen appear as a white fungal growth at base of stem & formation of hard black sclerotia. Favored by dense canopies & high moisture 🌱🧪 @plantdisease.bsky.social @cropnetwork.bsky.social

A emerging threat to corn production - Canis lupus familiaris (the domestic dog). Hopefully, I can request funding from USDA to study this emerging biotic risk to corn farmers 🌱 🧪 🐶 @cropnetwork.bsky.social
Ken Obasa and Dennis Coker identified a disease caused by #Pantoea agglomerans affecting corn and sorghum that can closely resemble iron deficiency, potentially leading farmers to apply costly nutrient treatments that do not address the underlying problem: https://doi.org/10.1094/PHP-07-25-0184-RS
