High‐Throughput Robotic Phenotyping for Quantifying Tomato Disease Severity Enabled by Synthetic Data and Domain‐Adaptive Semantic Segmentation Open
Plant diseases cause an annual global crop loss of 20%–40%, leading to estimated economic losses of 30–50 billion dollars. Tomatoes are susceptible to more than 200 diseases. Breeding disease‐resistant cultivars is more cost‐effective and …

Interaction between climatic variation and pathogen diversity shape endemic disease dynamics in the agricultural settings Open
Recurring outbreaks caused by endemic pathogens continue to pose problems in managing plant, wildlife, livestock and human health. Understanding how these outbreaks unfold and what drives the variability in disease epidemics across space a…

Smut fungus (<i>Langdonia walkerae</i>) incidence is lower in two bunchgrass species (<i>Aristida stricta</i> and <i>A. beyrichiana</i>) after fires early in the year Open
Premise In frequently burned southeastern USA pine‐grassland communities, wiregrass ( Aristida stricta and A. beyrichiana ) are dominant bunchgrasses whose flowers are infected during flowering by a smut fungus ( Langdonia walkerae ). We h…

Economic Analysis of Pruning Grafted Fresh-market Tomato Plants under Field Conditions in North Carolina Open
Grafted tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum L.) plants have the potential to increase yield in the absence of soilborne disease; however, success is dependent on geographic location and rootstock–scion combination. Pruning axillary shoots on fie…

Variable Yield Responses among Grafted and Nongrafted Late blight–resistant Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) Hybrids in North Carolina Open
Host resistance is an environmentally and economically sustainable disease management strategy that may be especially beneficial to small-scale and organic growers for whom other management tools such as synthetic pesticides are too costly…

Biopesticides provide inadequate control of three foliar bacterial diseases of tomato transplants Open
There are three important diseases caused by bacterial pathogens affecting tomato foliage on seedlings in the greenhouse and on mature plants in the field: bacterial canker, bacterial spot, and bacterial speck. Their causal agents are seed…

Vigorous rootstocks improve yields and increase fruit sizes in grafted fresh market tomatoes Open
Grafting high yielding tomato cultivars ( Solanum lycopersicum L.) onto vigorous rootstocks can increase marketable yields, but questions remain regarding optimal cultural and growing conditions such as pinching and plant spacing. This stu…

Evaluation of annual and herbaceous perennial plants for susceptibility to Phytophthora root and crown rot in the Southeastern United States1 Open
Annual and herbaceous perennial ornamental bedding plants are popular, high value crops in the southeastern United States. However, many of these plants are subject to root or crown rot caused by Phytophthora species. In North Carolina, Ph…

Annuals and Herbaceous Perennials Tolerant or Resistant to Phytophthora Species in the Landscape1 Open
Plants of one or two cultivars of 16 annuals and 14 herbaceous perennials were evaluated based on desirability and anecdotal evidence of resistance to Phytophthora root or crown rot. Six plant cultivars served as susceptible controls. Thre…

Phenotypic and Genetic Diversity of<i>Xanthomonas perforans</i>Populations from Tomato in North Carolina Open
Bacterial spot caused by Xanthomonas spp. is one of the most devastating diseases of tomato in North Carolina (NC). In total, 290 strains of Xanthomonas spp. from tomato in NC collected over 2 years (2015 and 2016) were analyzed for phenot…
