Drones Help Researchers Spot Potato Diseases

Publisher：Alan Zhang time：2016-01-27 14:55:12

Idaho State University researchers have found high-tech cameras mounted on drones flying 60 meters above potato fields can effectively detect individual diseased and stressed plants.

Furthermore, greenhouse testing by University of Idaho plant pathologist Louise-Marie Dandurand, using the same advanced sensors to assess diseased plants, has confirmed specific crop ailments, such as nematode feeding or potato virus Y infection, can be differentiated by studying a plant’s “spectral signature.”

The researchers, led by ISU assistant geosciences professor Donna Delparte, intend to use those signatures to develop algorithms for quickly identifying crop ailments detected by multi-spectral and more sensitive hyper-spectral cameras.

“We are teasing out new algorithms to automate detection so we can quickly pick out sick plants in the field,” Delparte said. “Initial results are showing great promise to build out the algorithms and potentially could lead to commercialization opportunities and getting it to growers.”
