1. Machine Learning Pipeline to Estimate Soybean Rust Severity Using UAV-derived Multispectral Indices

Asian Soybean Rust is one of the most destructive diseases affecting soybean crops worldwide and can result in yield losses of up to 90% when control measures are not implemented in a timely manner. Conventional disease monitoring based on field scouting is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inherently subjective, often failing to adequately represent the spatial variability of disease across production fields. These limitations highlight the need for automated, objective, and high throughput... S.A. Teixeira, R. Valdivino, R. Tsukahara, M. Ribeiro
