Cultivated American ginseng (Panax quinquifolius) is a perennial herb valued as traditional Chinese medicine. The crop commercially produced under polypropylene shade cloth, creating climate favorable for leaf blight caused by Alternaria panax; frequent fungicide applications are required annually to protect yields of the root and seed. Our objective was improve tactic identifying effective pro...

Automatic detection of foliar diseases in potato fields, such as early blight caused by Alternaria solani, could allow farmers to reduce the application plant protection products while minimizing production losses. UAV-based, high resolution, NIR-sensitive cameras offer advantage a detailed top-down perspective, with high-contrast images ideally suited for detecting solani lesions. A field expe...
