  4. Digital farming
    Remote sensing
    → Field scale
    n > 5k?
    PDM research requires
    variation in disease and
    production situations → several fields
    (locations x years)
    n > 50?
    Context for BIG!

  5. Coordinated efforts (industry and public)
    One or more target (disease)
    Common treatments (fungicide, biocontrol, etc.)
    Chemicals from several industries (control bias?)
    New treatments added over years, some are kept
    Disease and yield data are obtained
    The uniform trials (network)

  8. Few (< 5) experiments
    Focus on statistical significance (P-value)
    Vote-counting approach: how many P < 0.05
    When combined, same weight is assigned to trials
    "Not good" trials are eliminated from analysis
    By tradition in academic research

  13. Conclusion 1
    Yield loss can be predicted from
    severity data and is influenced by
    onset time and severity level
