Monitoring of plant diseases caused by Fusarium commune and Rhizoctonia solani in bok choy using hyperspectral remote sensing and machine learning.

Background: Local vegetable production is susceptible to various fungal pathogens, the most common and lethal of which are Fusarium commune and Rhizoctonia solani. Early detection of these pathogens is challenging, and by the time visual symptoms appear, the pathogens may have already spread extensively, causing massive damage to the production. In this study, we explored the use of hyperspectral data for early detection of diseases caused by F.
