Mycelial growth assessment by digital image analysis in R software environment

This study was aimed at developing a script in R to assess fungal growth in Petri dishes using computer vision. The script was developed to aid studies in agricultural phytopathology. The fungi used were Elsinoe ampelina, Fusarium oxysporum and Fusarium verticillioides. The images were analyzed with...
