My first paper is out!!
This work introduces and analyzes a mathematical model for #LaurelWilt , a tree disease in southeastern United States. Insights from this model can help inform management choices for Laurel Wilt and future vector-borne disease.

#PlantHealth2023 was success for #HadziabdicLab . Aaron Onufrak, Michelle Esther Odoi, & Meher Ony presented their #research on #microbiome of #walnuts & #sunflowers , as well as #molecular detection of #laurelwilt . 1/2
My PhD student Derrick Conover did an amazing job presenting his research on #laurelwilt and #ambrosiabeetle management at the 2023 Southeastern Branch Meeting of Entomological Society of America in Little Rock, Arkansas.
The future of #planthealth is #biologicals #endophytic and #green ! Excited to see results of the second #trichoderma in planta experiment to test endophytism of indigenous strains showing efficacy at inhibiting #laurelwilt pathogen in #avocado #aguacate 🍄☠️🥑 funds by NIFA
I was presenting today our research on rose rosette disease and #ambrosia beetles at the Green Industry Update in Cairo, GA. Good attendance thank you Cale Cloud Cale Cloud (UGA Extension) for the invite. #rrd #laurelwilt
A round of applause for the Tropical Plant Clinic & Research Lab #avocado superheroes for their continued research in improving #IPM to manage deadly #laurelwilt disease. Specially for their research with biocontrol #trichoderma , Kudos 🙌to the funding agency NIFA for funding very practical and
From my experience fighting #laurelwilt in my #avocado grove biocontrols are the way to go. Tropical Plant Clinic & Research Lab leading the way

Welcome Daniel Palberg to our lab as visiting scholar! He comes from Trent University Metaboly and will test the antagonistic potential of #fungi #endophytes #Tolypocladium towards the #laurelwilt #avocado pathogen. He will also learn lots about tropical plant pathology 🤓🍄

Starting the year at #avocado grove with low incidence of #laurelwilt I keep a 6 month moving average. In January 23 it was 9.8 trees per month now 0.8 Either my IPM is working or 'something' keeping the #beetles in check. Thanks Tropical Plant Clinic & Research Lab 4 support

For the past 17 years, researchers UF IFAS Tropical Research and Education Center have investigated possible strategies to manage #laurelwilt , a disease affecting avocado trees in south Florida. Propiconazole injections, a prophylactic management method used by local farmers, was demonstrated to be (1/3)
Excellent research on the management of an important plant disease in avocado #laurelwilt 🥑
Thank you Tropical Plant Clinic & Research Lab for your dedication to identifying solutions to manage this devastating disease #laurelwilt #avocado . It is great to see your progress.
