The image-based detection and classification of plant diseases has become increasingly important to the development of precision agriculture. We consider the case of tomato, a high-value crop supporting the livelihoods of many farmers around the worl...
Net blotch disease caused by is a major fungal disease that affects barley () plants and can result in significant crop losses. In this study, we developed a deep learning model to quantify net blotch disease symptoms on different days postinfection...
In the past decade, there has been a recognized need for innovative methods to monitor and manage plant diseases, aiming to meet the precision demands of modern agriculture. Over the last 15 years, significant advances in the detection, monitoring, a...
Computer vision approaches to analyze plant disease data can be both faster and more reliable than traditional, manual methods. However, the requirement of manually annotating training data for the majority of machine learning applications can presen...
Mummy berry, caused by Monilinia vaccinii-corymbosi, causes economic losses of highbush blueberry in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW). Apothecia develop from mummified berries overwintering on soil surfaces and produce ascospores that infect tissue e...
Dispersal of urediniospores by wind is the primary means of spread for Phakopsora pachyrhizi, the cause of soybean rust. Our research focused on the short-distance movement of urediniospores from within the soybean canopy and up to 61 m from field-gr...
Northern leaf blight (NLB) can cause severe yield loss in maize; however, scouting large areas to accurately diagnose the disease is time consuming and difficult. We demonstrate a system capable of automatically identifying NLB lesions in field-acqui...
