A New Dataset and Comparative Study for Aphid Cluster Detection and Segmentation in Sorghum Fields

arXiv:2405.04305v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Aphid infestations are one of the primary causes of extensive damage to wheat and sorghum fields and are one of the most common vectors for plant viruses, resulting in significant agricultural yield losses. To address this problem, farmers often employ the inefficient use of harmful chemical pesticides that have negative health and environmental impacts. As a result, a large amount of pesticide is wasted on areas without significant pest infestation. This brings to attention the …
