Assessing The Performance of YOLOv5 Algorithm for Detecting Volunteer Cotton Plants in Corn Fields at Three Different Growth Stages. (arXiv:2208.00519v1 [cs.CV])

The boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis L.) is a serious pest that primarily
feeds on cotton plants. In places like Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas, due to
sub-tropical climatic conditions, cotton plants can grow year-round and
therefore the left-over seeds from the previous season during harvest can
