I’m glad to share our new publication a part of my PhD work. I’m grateful to my PhD advisor @UGAvirology , committee members for their guidance and support throughout this work. I also appreciate the invaluable support provided by the county agents. @GACottonComm@UGAPlantPath
Sent to me this morning by Dr Jared Whitaker from commercial cotton in South Georgia. This is Fusarium wilt in association with likely sting nematodes. Care should be exercised to avoid moving infested soil from this field to other fields. UGA Extension
And just like that. Wayne Co in southeastern Georgia positive for southern corn rust. Thanks to John Beasley and his team for cooperation with Mark Frye UGA Extension
New paper available for first look @PlantDiseaseJ! 🌿
Understanding the link between weed presence and virus pressure is crucial for managing viral diseases in crops. Big thanks to my advisor @UGAvirology and committee for their support!

Exciting experience presenting my research on CLRDV at the APS Southern Division meeting! Grateful for the opportunity to share my work with the plant pathology community and connect with fellow researchers. #SDAPS2025#PlantPathology#CottonVirology”
Dalvir Kaur Dhadly et al. investigated the seed transmissibility of cucurbit leaf crumple virus, a bipartite #begomovirus that has recently emerged as a severe constraint for yellow squash production in the southeastern United States. https://t.co/DPMtgng3UJ @UGAvirology
With so much hardship this growing season, we can leave this one behind for #24. Even with significantly high disease pressure in early season and no bolls on symptomatic plants, it may not impact yield due to #CLRDV#bronzewilt induced abnormality. Last dataset for #surendra
Some confusion in Georgia’s cotton fields with these crumpled leaf symptoms appearing after days and days of wet weather. Almost assuredly symptoms of areolate mildew (Ramulariopsis). Depending upon time left until defoliation, fungicides may be helpful. UGA Extension
Southern corn rust on late-planted corn in Mitchell Co. Georgia. The economics for fungicides on late planted corn are not always easy to decipher, but left untreated, rust in this field will engulf the crop. UGA Extension
Interested in seed transmission of plant viruses. Sharing our results on whitefly-tranmitted CuLCrV on yellow squash. Congratulations to @DhadlyD and the virology team at #UGATifton. @PlantDiseaseJ https://t.co/2gHhzyt8el
Congratulation @suren_edu for successfully completing the Preliminary exam. Thank you @GACottonComm and members of the advisory committe for supporting our research. Dr. Roberts bring some cool stuff, discussing evolution to lighten the intense discussion.
