Usage

bacterial_blight(wth, emergence, ...)

bb(wth, emergence, ...)

brown_spot(wth, emergence, ...)

bs(wth, emergence, ...)

leaf_blast(wth, emergence, ...)

lb(wth, emergence, ...)

sheath_blight(wth, emergence, ...)

sb(wth, emergence, ...)

tungro(wth, emergence, ...)

tg(wth, emergence, ...)

modified_kim_leaf_blast(wth, emergence, ...)

mk_lb(wth, emergence, ...)

modified_kim_sheath_blight(wth, emergence, ...)

mk_sb(wth, emergence, ...)

leaf_rust(wth, emergence, ...)

brown_rust(wth, emergence, ...)

lr(wth, emergence, ...)

s_tritici_blotch(wth, emergence, ...)

stb(wth, emergence, ...)

Arguments

wth

Weather data with a daily time-step, normally NASA POWER data from get_wth(), but any base::data.frame() object that has been formatted using format_wth() will work.

emergence

Expected date of crop emergence in YYYY-MM-DD format.

...

Additional arguments passed to epicrop_sim().

Value

A data.table::data.table() of disease intensity and infection sites. See epicrop_sim() for a full description of the column values.
