Detection of Soilborne Disease Utilizing Sensor Technologies: Lessons Learned from Studies on Stem Rot of Peanut

Soilborne plant diseases are a major constraint to crop production worldwide. Effective and economical management of these is dependent on the ability accurately detect diagnose their signs and/or symptoms prior widespread development in crop. Sensor-based technologies promising tools for automated disease detection, but research still needed optimize validate methods detection specific diseases. The overarching goal our use peanut-stem rot system identify evaluate sensor-based that can be utilized soilborne Here we summarize current state provide examples from own illustrate advantages limitations different detecting In addition, potential adapt practical field discussed.
