Abstract:Bacterial wilt is one of the most important vascular diseases that generate high worldwide losses. The main strategy to control it involves early detection of infected plants that mitigate its spread in the field. This research characterized the spectral response of healthy plants, infected with Ralstonia solanacearum E.F. Smith race 2 and subjected to water stress, in two banana cultivars by spectroscopy reflectance. The spectral data were used to detect vascular wilt during the incubation period of the disea… Show more
