Evaluation of the potential of UAV mounted Imaging FTIR Spectroscopy for Enhanced Detection of Yellow Rust Infection in Winter Wheat Crops in China
People Involved
Project Description
Yellow rust disease caused by the fungus Puccina striiformis has a severe impact on the production of winter wheat worldwide. The epidemic of yellow rust may result in extremely severe yield loss and deterioration in grain quality. The potential of using spectral remote sensing approaches for detecting yellow rust infection have been demonstrated in a number of studies while noting the significant contamination effect caused by environmental factors. Our UK collaborator Professor Chen, as part of an on-going SFTC Newton Agritech in China Project Partnership funded project titled “Enabling wide area persistent remote sensing for agriculture applications’, is undertaking an extensive, rigorous evaluation of the potential of hyperspectral remote sensing data, covering the Visible-to-Near Infrared (VNIR), waverange, mounted on autonomous UAB’s to provide an accurate, low-cost, operational methodology to identify yellow rust infection.
