Phytoprotection is a discipline dealing with all aspects of plant protection including plantpathology, etiology, molecular and population biology, biotechnology of breeding, environmental stress and pest management. Recently, with the rapid advancement of information communication science, the academic community has been increasingly focusing on integrating traditionally biological-oriented plant protection discipline with evolving intelligent technologies. A novel concept, called smart phytoprotection, has been proposed by leveraging emerging intelligent control and analytic technologies to probe potential research ideas and solutions for green plant protection and development. Related topics are such as precise ecological modelling, low-cost and high-reliability edge equipment for green ecological control, lightweight and smart computing for precise plant protection, open data for green intelligence sharing, etc. In general, smart phytoprotection runs under multidisciplinary intelligent control and analytic technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), satellite remote sensing, 5G/6G networking, edge computing, big data analytics, machine learning, blockchain, robotics, cognitive computing and artificial intelligence, which in-depth empower the continuous development and success of plant/crop protection. Nevertheless, with the rise in interest in smart phytoprotection, it is critical to deal with the challenges when integrating intelligent control and analytic technology and plant protection discipline.
The objective of this research topic is to compile recent research efforts dedicated to the study of emerging intelligent control and analytic technology for smart phytoprotection. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Intelligent control technologies for monitoring environmental factors, such as temperature, humidity, light, and soil pH
- Intelligently precise ecological modeling and controlling for plant/crop protection
- Water and fertilizer irrigation with intelligent control and analytic technologies
- Greenhouse with intelligent control and analytic technologies
- Intelligent photovoltaic agriculture and plant/crop growth management
- Precision organic planting with intelligent control and analytic technologies
- Beneficial insects and pest management with intelligent control and analytic technologies
- Biodiversity control for plant diseases and weeds with intelligent control and analytic technologies
- Eco-evolutionary data management models for smart phytoprotection
- Emerging innovative applications, methodologies, or algorithms empowering smart phytoprotection
