THEPOTENTIAL OFOPTICALCANOPYMEASUREMENT FORTARGETEDCONTROL OFFIELDCROPDISEASES

Abstract: There is increasing pressure to reduce the use of pesticides in modern crop production to decrease the environmental impact of current practice and to lower production costs. It is therefore imperative that sprays are only applied when and where needed. Since diseases in fields are frequently patchy, sprays may be applied unnecessarily to disease-free areas. Disease control could be more efficient if disease patches within fields could be identified and spray applied only to the infected areas. Recent developm… Show more

“…2), which is in agreement with previous findings of Franke et al (2005) for leaf rust detection by means of reflection technique. Healthy green leaves are usually characterised by a low red reflectance due to the strong absorption in this region by chlorophyll molecules and by a high reflection of NIR caused by multiple scattering at the air-cell interfaces in the internal leaf tissues (West et al 2003). The observed decrease of NDVI during development of both pathogens in our experiment was due to the increase of red reflectance at constant NIR values.…”

“…Remote sensing provides the ability for relatively rapid and early detection of the spatial distribution of a disease using methods based on thermography, chlorophyll fluorescence and canopy reflectance [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. High resolution spectroscopic sensing has the ability to identify subtle changes in crop biophysical conditions that are unique to a specific disease or stressor.…”

“…The use of large amounts of fungicide can effectively control most crop diseases and decrease the crop production loss. However, pesticide increases costs to growers while environmental problems may be incurred to soil, water, air and ecological systems (West et al, 2003). A proper on-time characterization and assessment of disease distribution and intensity could provide useful information for decision making about the timing of fungicide application in precise pest management.…”
