A Comparison of Regression Tree Approaches to Modelling the Efficacy of Water Hyacinth Biocontrol Using Multitemporal Spectral Datasets

, 2018
Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is an exotic plant species that is effectively controlled by Neochetina spp. weevils. This study is aimed at determining if spectroscopic data may be utilized to predict insect-induced stress on water hyacinth plants.
