An invasive mullein patch spotted in #Yosemite is a reminder of how quickly #invasiveplants can colonize disturbed sites. Even “benign” species can outcompete natives & alter ecosystem function.

Another study from my master’s has been published in Scientific Reports!
We explored a quick lab method to predict Palmer amaranth seed longevity: a step toward better weed management.

Excited to share the second chapter of my MS thesis, which focuses on non-chemical methods of weed control in peanut. It is now published in the Agronomy journal. Grateful to my advisory committee and reviewers. https://t.co/1D3RCH046F

Most R users know it as a statistics and visualization tool. But did you know you can also process and analyze images directly in R?

The imager package turns R into a lightweight image processing toolkit. You can load photos, apply filters, detect edges, segment regions, and even prototype computer vision workflows without leaving R.

Some things you can do with imager:
🔹 Read and write image files
🔹 Apply blurring, sharpening, and transformations
🔹 Run edge detection and feature extraction
🔹 Work with color channels and pixel-level data
🔹 Visualize results interactively inside R

The figure below shows several examples from the package website: detecting objects in a star field, applying abstract transformations, filtering a sailboat image, and highlighting motion differences between video frames.

You can find the package website here: https://t.co/NWDdMYBzNs

Folks often assume #waterhemp escapes are late-emerging. In reality, many were already established but not controlled at POST.

The plants pictured were >4” tall at POST and survived Enlist + Liberty.

@PreetamanBajwa Thank you Preetaman 😇

[Akashdeep Singh @AkashGrewal98]

It’s already been a month, and I’m happy to share that I’ve officially started my PhD at @penn_state under the guidance of Dr. @caiobrunharo. My research will focus on site-specific weed management and herbicide resistance. Looking forward to this journey!
