Research summary
AI-generated

Tom Creswell's work focuses on identifying and characterizing plant diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes affecting crops and ornamental plants, mostly in the United States. Much of the research documents new or first-time occurrences of specific plant pathogens in particular regions or hosts, such as tar spot on corn and necrotic spot virus in tomatoes. This type of work helps track the spread of plant diseases and supports agricultural monitoring and management.
