Article Synopsis
- Soybean plants face significant damage from pests, particularly the southern green stinkbug, which impacts seed morphology and color through its feeding.
- The study aimed to use nondestructive imaging methods, like computed tomography (CT) and color analysis, to evaluate the extent and nature of damage in soybeans under different pest infestation conditions.
- Results showed that pest damage led to notable changes in seed radiodensity, volume, and shape, with significant reductions in both radiodensity (up to 412 HU) and seed volume (25%-80%), indicating the importance of imaging techniques for understanding pest effects on seed structure.
Qualitative and quantitative parameters of tomatoes are impaired by Stål (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), which cause severe economic losses worldwide. Our aims were to assess -induced tissue damage in tomatoes via computer tomography and to confirm the results of imaging obtained by analytical methods. Our examination confirmed the intensification of the change in the inner structure of damaged tomatoes as a function of time.
