Abstract

Abstract : Fitting insect management into precision agriculture is a challenge. Recent advances in remote sensors, especially near‐infrared (NIR) cameras, are providing more affordable ways to assess plant health. The concurrent developments in unmanned aerial systems (UAS or drones) have also provided an ideal platform for deploying these sensors.
