A simple mean field model is proposed that captures the two scales of dynamic processes involved in the spread of the coffee rust disease. At a local level the state variable is the fraction of coffee plants on an average farm that are…

Coffee leaf rust, a foliar disease caused by the fungus Hemileia vastatrix, poses a major threat to coffee production, especially in Central America. Climate change further aggravates this issue, as it shortens the latency period between…

Coffee leaf rust (CLR) severely affects coffee production worldwide, leading to reduced yields and economic losses. To reduce the cost of control, small-scale farmers often only apply control measures once a noticeable level of infection is…

Botanical pandemics cause enormous economic damage and food shortages around the globe. However, since botanical pandemics are here to stay in the short-medium term, domesticated field owners can strategically seed their fields to optimize…

Pest and disease control plays a key role in agriculture since the damage caused by these agents are responsible for a huge economic loss every year. Based on this assumption, we create an algorithm capable of detecting rust (Hemileia…

In this paper we present a mode that incorporates two levels of dynamic structuring of the coffee rust disease (caused by the rust fungus, Hemileia vastatrix). First, two distinct spatial scales of transmission dynamics are interrogated…

Generally, the identification and classification of plant diseases and/or pests are performed by an expert . One of the problems facing coffee farmers in Brazil is crop infestation, particularly by leaf rust Hemileia vastatrix and leaf…

Summary 1. Infectious disease outbreaks in plants threaten ecosystems, agricultural crops and food trade. Currently, several fungal diseases are affecting forests worldwide, posing a major risk to tree species, habitats and consequently…

Citrus diseases have been major issues for citrus growing worldwide for many years they can lead significantly reduce fruit quality. the most harmful citrus diseases are citrus canker, citrus greening, citrus black spot, citrus leaf miner…

Pests and diseases pose a key challenge to passion fruit farmers across Uganda and East Africa in general. They lead to loss of investment as yields reduce and losses increases. As the majority of the farmers, including passion fruit…

Rice is the number one staple food in the country, as this serves as the primary livelihood for thousands of Filipino households. However, as the tradition continues, farmers are not familiar with the different types of rice leaf diseases…

Infectious diseases cause more than 13 million deaths a year, worldwide. Globalization, urbanization, climate change, and ecological pressures have significantly increased the risk of a global pandemic. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic-the…

Agriculture plays an important role in the food and economy of Bangladesh. The rapid growth of population over the years also has increased the demand for food production. One of the major reasons behind low crop production is numerous…

Image segmentation is the most challenging issue in computer vision applications. And most difficulties for crops management in agriculture are the lack of appropriate methods for detecting the leaf damage for pests treatment. In this paper…

Wheat yellow rust, caused by the fungus Puccinia striiformis, is a critical disease affecting wheat crops across Britain, leading to significant yield losses and economic consequences. Given the rapid environmental changes and the evolving…

Reconciling agricultural production with climate-change mitigation is a formidable sustainability problem. Retaining trees in agricultural systems is one proposed solution, but the magnitude of the current and future-potential benefit that…

The Canadian province of Alberta spent over 500 million dollars on controlling mountain pine beetle populations, but did it work? Using a statistical modeling framework coupled with long-term field data, we examined how direct control…

Farmers use pesticides to reduce yield losses. The efficacies of pesticide treatments are often evaluated by analyzing the average treatment effects and risks. The stochastic efficiency with respect to a function is often employed in such…

Agriculture is the mainstay of human society because it is an essential need for every organism. Paddy cultivation is very significant so far as humans are concerned, largely in the Asian continent, and it is one of the staple foods.…

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has caused one of the most serious social and economic losses to countries around the world since the Spanish influenza pandemic of 1918 (during World War I). It has resulted in enormous economic as well…
