Automatic Scoring of Rhizoctonia Crown and Root Rot Affected Sugar Beet Fields from Orthorectified UAV Images Using Machine Learning.

Rhizoctonia crown and root rot (RCRR), caused by , can cause severe yield and quality losses in sugar beet. The most common strategy to control the disease is the development of resistant varieties. In the breeding process, field experiments with artificial inoculation are carried out to evaluate the performance of genotypes and varieties.

Findings suggest that positive family history for dementia is associated with DLB with a yet unknown mechanism.
