- Abstract:
- Parasitic attacks and environmental stresses may decrease the yield of crop plants and even cause damages to forests. A diagnostic system has been developed for monitoring early stress states in plants in order to set up the most suited intervention and keep plants in their optimal state. The study of natural leaf fluorescence gives useful informations about photosynthetic apparatus so that it appears to be a valid inspection tool for monitoring plants metabolism. The instrument integrates the knowledges of human experts and laboratory diagnostic techniques for an on-site and non-intrusive analysis and a neuro-fuzzy data fusion for the overall response about plants health.
