A Review of Insect Monitoring Approaches with Special Reference to Radar Techniques

Alexey Noskov et al.

Summary: Drastic declines in insect populations are a significant global concern, requiring systematic and global monitoring techniques. Radar monitoring of insects is established but rapidly growing, with high potential based on increasing research interest and emerging technologies. Promising insect monitoring solutions using compact radar instruments are being developed for effective and systematic monitoring.

Classification of Plant Electrophysiology Signals for Detection of Spider Mites Infestation in Tomatoes

Elena Najdenovska et al.

Summary: This study investigates plant electrophysiological signals caused by spider mite infestation and proposes a workflow based on the Gradient Boosted Tree algorithm for differentiating between the normal and stressed states of plants. The classification model achieves an accuracy of 80% in identifying the plant's stressed state compared to the normal state, demonstrating the potential of automated detection of insect infestation in greenhouse crops.

Difficulties in Potato Pest Control: The Case of Pyrethroids on Colorado Potato Beetle

Imola Molnar et al.

Summary: The Colorado potato beetle is highly adaptable and resistant to over 54 different insecticides, leading farmers to increase the use of pesticides with different modes of action. However, this strategy increases the risk of intoxication in non-target organisms and environmental pollution, and is unsustainable for long-term pest management. Integrated pest management is proposed as a more feasible and sustainable solution.
