About Me
Cesar Escalante is a Clinical Assistant Professor and Extension Plant Pathologist at Purdue
University. He specializes in both classical and modern techniques for studying plant pathogens
and their impacts on hosts. His extension programming involves direct engagement with
growers through farm visits, consultations via phone calls, emails, and presentations to grower
groups. He contributes to local events such as conferences and small groups meetings and
trainings. At the Southwest Purdue Ag Center, Cesar coordinates diagnostic activities with the
Plant and Pest Diagnostic Lab on Purdue’s main campus in West Lafayette. His publications
include extension bulletins and contributions to regional publications like the annual Midwest
Vegetable Production Guide. His applied research, which informs his extension work, includes
field and greenhouse trials for fungicide efficacy and studies on the basic etiology and
epidemiology of pathogens.
