DETECTION OF GRAY MOLD LEAF INFECTIONS PRIOR TO VISUAL SYMPTOM APPEARANCE USING A FIVE-BAND MULTISPECTRAL SENSOR

Detection of Gray Mold Leaf Infections Prior to Visual Symptom Appearance Using a Five-Band Multispectral Sensor

Fungal leaf diseases cause economically important damage to crop plants.Protective treatments help producers to secure good quality crops.In contrast, curative treatments based on visually detectable symptoms are often riskier and less effective because diseased crop plants may develop disease symptoms too late for curative treatments.Therefore, ea
