About

Diseases, pests and weeds have severely affected the production of crops. Traditional agriculture solves the above problems by large-scale chemical spraying, but excessive pesticides can also seriously affect the growth of crops and pollute the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to use modern technologies to protect field crops accurately. Collect and analyze the characteristics and location information of diseases, pests and weeds as early as possible with equipment and methods, and use various platforms to complete the precise protection of field crops.

This Reaserch Topic welcomes submissions that address precision crop protection research and demonstrate how smart control strategies, sensor technology, and operational platforms can be integrated into actual crop protection. We welcome submissions of original research articles, reviews, and methods, including (but not limited to) research on the following sub-themes:

1. real-time monitoring and detection sensors for diseases, pests and weeds;
2. intelligent crop protection methods using machine vision, artificial intelligence, etc;
3. trait analysis and extraction of diseases, pests and weeds based on spectra and images;
4. novel platforms for crop protection, e.g. UAV and robotics;
5. advances, innovations and new trends in modern technologies for crop protection and development.
