Professor of plant pathology at the Federal University of Viçosa, Brazil. Author of the R4PDE book.
This time of year, the campus feels quiet and lifeless as students have yet to return. Yet, the beauty of Viçosa's campus remains vibrant, and I look forward to seeing these sidewalks bustling with life next week.

Wheat blast is a severe yield-damaging disease. We developed weather-based prediction models based on data collected in Brazil. We built a Shiny app that uses nasa power data via {nasapower}. Note that predictions were not evaluated outside Brazil.
