Exposure-Lag Responses of Soybean Target Spot to Climatic Proxies: A Distributed Lag Nonlinear Modeling Approach.
Target spot of soybean is strongly influenced by weather, but the major drivers of epidemics remain poorly understood. Using a dataset obtained in non-treated plots of 254 trials conducted across nine Brazilian states over 13 growing seasons, we applied a distributed lag nonlinear modeling to quantify delayed and nonli...
