Surveying soil-borne disease development on wild rocket salad crop by proximal sensing based on high-resolution hyperspectral features.

ABSTRACT: Wild rocket (Diplotaxis tenuifolia, Brassicaceae) is a baby-leaf vegetable crop of high economic interest, used in ready-to-eat minimally processed salads, with an appreciated taste and nutraceutical features. Disease management is key to achieving the sustainability of the entire production chain in intensive systems, where synthetic fungicides are limited or not permitted. In this context, soil-borne pathologies, much feared by growers, are becoming a real emergency. Digital screening of green beds can be implemented in order to optimize the use of sustainable means. The current study used a high-resolution hyperspectral array (spectroscopy at 350-2500 nm) to attempt to follow the progression of symptoms of Rhizoctonia, Sclerotinia, and Sclerotium disease across four different severity l
