Improving the performance of machine learning algorithms for detection of individual pests and beneficial insects using feature selection techniques [PDF]

To reduce damage caused by insect pests, farmers use insecticides to protect produce from crop pests. This practice leads to high synthetic chemical usage because a large portion of the applied insecticide does not reach its intended target; instead, it ...
