R Studio Code for Disease Severity Analysis in Avocados

This repository contains R code used to perform the analyses presented in the study:

**"Seasonal Influence of Fruit Maturity and Variety on Postharvest Fungal Diseases and Vascular Streaking Disorders of Avocados in California."**

The code includes scripts for analyzing disease severity, pathogenicity test results, and fruit dry matter content in avocados. These analyses support the evaluation of postharvest fungal diseases and physiological disorders across different seasons and avocado varieties.

### Contents
- R Markdown scripts for:
  - Pathogenicity test analysis
  - Dry matter analysis
  - Disease severity data analysis
- Documentation (README.md) with instructions for use
- License file describing terms of reuse

### Usage
The scripts can be run in R or RStudio. Required packages are listed at the beginning of each script. Users can reproduce the analyses by opening the `.Rmd` files and running them within RStudio (e.g., using the "Knit" function).
