Pulakkatu-Thodi, I, Dzurisin, J., & Follett, P. 2022 Evaluation of macadamia felted coccid (Hemiptera: Eriococcidae) damage and cultivar susceptibility using imagery from a small unmanned aerial vehicle (sUAV), combined with ground truthing. Pest Management Science DOI 10.1002/ps.7073

Keywords:

economic importance

Notes: Cultivars showed varying susceptibility to macadamia felted coccid infestation and the foliage damage appeared in clusters. sUAV was able to detect the foliage damage under high and low infestation scenarios suggesting that it can be effectively used for the early detection of infestations.
