Tobacco black shank, caused by Phytophthora nicotianae

Don't know what this was about, but RG and Paxton Schultz made me laugh, so it gets a highlight. #BlueJays #NextLevel

That’s my honey!

Shoutout to Alyssa Counce for her trellis engineering! 🍅

My first field trial is underway. Tomatoes 🍅⏭ in ground! Mother Nature called for heavy rain and soggy shoes, so trellising will have to wait for a drier day.

He is unstoppable. 😍🙌 And wearing baby Yoda!! RG

Rocky and I have officially made it to Pittsburgh for #PlantHealth2022! If you see this corgi around, feel free to talk to him about your research 😄🐶🪴

Thoroughly enjoyed talking about Phytophthora nicotianae at #PlantHealth2022! Made new friends, ate the best pierogis, and learned so much about our wonderful field🍂🌱 Thank you to my advisor UTIA Specialty Crops Program and UTK folks Heather M Kelly, @PatePlantPath, Tim Siegenthaler for their support!

The plant in front has tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV). Confirmed by Taylor Miller.

Tobacco black shank (Phytophthora nicotianae) race-typing experiment looks to be working well again. And the seedlings were so happy earlier this week… Good work once again Taylor Miller

Thank you for the shoutout EPP!🍂🍅

Taylor Miller Taylor Miller did an excellent job presenting her MS exit seminar today on Phytophthora nicotianae fungicide sensitivity, race structure, and host specificity. Well done Taylor!

It was a pleasure to attend the APS North Central Division Meeting this last Wednesday at Purdue University. Caught up with old peers and had the chance to meet new researchers supporting the row crop industry! 🌽 UPL United States The American Phytopathological Society

University of Illinois Weed Science Field Day was a success! The Midwest UPL team got to see Preview 2.1 SC /InterMoc + Velexi holding up on drought conditions. Thanks for hosting Kip Jacobs UPL United States #OpenAg

We have confirmed/suspect a few more Indiana counties for tar spot - these are still just a few small lesions found in lower canopy. Continue to scout and send us samples @PurduePPDL Purdue Extension

As of July 26, 12 Indiana counties have confirmed tar spot. There haven't been any reports of southern corn rust, but Darcy Telenko encourages all to keep scouting. If you suspect tar spot or southern corn rust, please send leaf samples to @PurduePPDL. indianafieldcroppathology.com/indiana-diseas…

Excited to attend the ASTM International E35 43rd Symposium on Pesticide Formulation and Delivery Systems: Creating Certainty in an Uncertain World! 🔬🧪🌾🪴🌎 Our R&D team is also attending and would be thrilled to discuss current research and trends with other attendees.
