About this Research Topic
This Research Topic is part of the article collection series - Advanced Methods, Equipment and Platforms in Precision Field Crops Protection.
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 Research 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 based on artificial intelligence;
3. Phenotypic parameter analysis of weeds and affected crops;
4. Precision variable-rate equipment and system for crop protection;
5. Digital twin models, novel IoT technologies and cloud platform for crop protection;
6. Advances, innovations, and new trends in modern technologies for crop protection and development.
