"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 https://t.co/1zppkoA1qC by @CheckJill @MSUSoilFert

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.

What could be better than a bouquet of flowers to a pathologist? A bouquet of samples!
What a lovely bouquet!! @jillcheckMSU was in Ionia County, MI and was kind enough to grab me some #SDS samples! #soybeans #suddendeathsyndrome #soydiseases @soydisease @MichiganSoybean @CropNetwork
