Study Notes

Detection Technologies in Pest Management

Aerial Color-Infrared (CIR) photography and multi-spectral videography are effective for identifying insect infestations in citrus orchards and cotton fields.
Various types of entomological radars have been developed, including Airborne Entomological Radar (AER), Scanning Entomological Radar (SER), Tracking Entomological Radar (TER), and Vertical-Looking Radar (VLR).
SER and VLR are commonly used to study the migration behavior of high-altitude migratory insects.

Remote Sensing Applications

Multi-spectral remote sensing (MRS) is utilized to detect early spider mite infestations in large-scale cotton fields, focusing on canopy changes over time.
Ground-based hyperspectral remote sensing can provide important pest management data, including assessing leafhopper damage through spectral analysis.

Hyperspectral and Radar Technologies

A hyperspectral radiometer operating within 350–2500 nm helps estimate chlorophyll and relative water content in plants affected by pests.
A multi-frequency radar utilized in East China recorded significant differences in insect populations, enabling better pest identification.

Innovations in Insect Tracking

Recent developments in harmonic radar technology enhance the tracking of insects, exemplified by studies on Vespa velutina, which can monitor insect flight up to 500 m in altitude.
Radar technology offers advantages over traditional sampling methods, such as the ability to detect a wide range of insects at various altitudes and large sampling volumes.

Monitoring and Impacts of Locusts

Monitoring technologies have been used for forecasting locust species migration; a swarm can cover 1200 km², potentially affecting millions of people.
Significant crop damage, particularly during locust migration, has been documented, highlighting the need for advanced monitoring systems.

Conclusion on Remote Sensing Advances

Advances in remote sensing technology are transforming approaches in agricultural pest and plant disease management.
Enhanced data interpretation and analysis through technology support numerous research fields, paving the way for broader applications in agricultural science.
