Low water availability increases susceptibility to peanut smut (Thecaphora frezzii) in peanut crop
(Wiley, 2023-10-23)Peanut smut (causal agent Thecaphora frezzii) and seasonal drought are the two main factors reducing peanut yields in Argentina. There are no previous studies about the effect of drought on peanut smut occurrence. We ... -
Marriage between variable selection and prediction methods to model plant disease risk
(Elsevier, 2023-10-11)Predicting the risk of a disease in a pathosystem based on a set of climatic variables usually requires handling a high number of input variables, many of which are often irrelevant and/or redundant. Building linear ... -
