SquashRX

The whitefly-transmitted virus complex risk assessment app.

Managing whitefly-transmitted virus complex (WTVC) in squash is difficult, as no single tactic consistently reduces disease severity. Over three years of field studies in southern Georgia, we tested five cultural practices and pest management tactics to see which ones help reduce disease. Using advanced analysis, we created a risk assessment tool that highlights which practices matter most. This app was designed to help growers determine and avoid high-risk situations in their fields.
