R Shiny dashboard for monitoring termite attack patterns across maize FRN trials in Kenya , with stage-by-stage vigour and population loss tracking, variety attack inference, and a trial location map. # Termite FRN Dashboard > **R Shiny dashboard and geospatial mapping tool for monitoring termite Farmer Research Network (FRN) trials across western Kenya** — tracking termite attack patterns, crop vigour, and plant population loss across four growth stages with interactive filtering and variety-level attack analysis. --- ## Table of Contents - Overview - Project Structure - Features - Data Sources - Prerequisites - Installation - Usage - Dashboard Tabs - Map Outputs --- ## Overview This project supports field monitoring of a **termite research trial** across smallholder maize farms in western Kenya. Farmers plant side-by-side plots of hybrid and local maize varieties, and field officers collect data at four crop growth stages — First Weeding, Second Weeding, Tasseling, and Harvesting. The dashboard visualizes termite attack patterns, crop vigour scores, population reduction, and termite species locations across those stages. A dedicated **Variety Attack tab** infers whether attacks affected hybrid or local maize plots and computes attack rates per variety. A companion **static map script** produces a figure showing trial site locations across Kenya, with organization-specific county insets at sub-county resolution. --- ## Project Structure ``` Termite_FRN/ ├── app.R # Shiny dashboard (main application) ├── map.R # Static ggplot2 + cowplot map script │ ├── Data/ │ └── Longrains_Termite_FRN_Data_2025.xlsx # Main dataset (multi-sheet) │ ├── Farmer_Profile # Farmer demographics │ ├── Trial_setup # Plot setup, varieties, geolocation │ ├── First_Weeding # Stage 1 observations │ ├── Second_Weeding # Stage 2 observations │ ├── Tasseling_Stage # Stage 3 observations │ └── Harvesting_Stage # Stage 4 observations │ └── outputs/ └── Kenya_Termite_FRN_P …
