Advancements in smart agriculture: A systematic literature review on state‐of‐the‐art plant disease detection with computer vision

IET Computer Vision, Volume 19, Issue 1, January/December 2025.
Plant diseases are known to cause negative impacts and financial losses which are usually found on plant leaves and detection using traditional methods is a labor‐intensive process. Smart agriculture applications based on computer vision are being developed to detect and control of plant diseases.

Breeding strategies for mitigating cassava brown streak disease in Africa

Tropical Plants
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), is an important staple crop for about 800 million people worldwide, and a key commodity for the starch industry. However, the potential cassava production is limited by several biotic constraints amongst which cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) is the most economically important disease in Africa.

Progression of Cassava Brown Streak Disease (CBSD) in infected cassava roots in Uganda

Uganda Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2015
Cassava Brown Streak disease (CBSD) has and continues to be a major threat to the cassava industry in Uganda. The most economically damaging symptom of CBSD occurs on the roots as a yellow/brown, corky necrosis. However, the onset and development of this necrosis is not known.
