1. Non-destructive Detection of Herbicide Damage in Curly Lettuce Using Spectral Data and Machine Learning Algorithms

Curly lettuce (Lactuca sativa var. crispa) is a prominent horticultural crop due to its high demand for both production and human consumption. It plays a vital role in creating healthier, more balanced diets. However, the application of phytosanitary products, such as herbicides, whether applied by air or land, can lead to chemical drift into adjacent areas, negatively impacting sensitive crops. This drift can cause phytotoxicity and, in severe cases, result in total crop loss, depending on factors... F. Morlin carneiro, T. Vidigal maciel, G. Albuquerque araujo, H. De oliveira cavalheiro, B.
