Project description
Various diseases of greenhouse tomatoes reduce fruit yield and quality, which leads to serious economic losses globally. In large and well-equipped greenhouses, there are different solutions to avoid or minimize the spread of diseases, including environmental sensors and control options, plant vigor sensors, different visioning systems, decision support systems (DSS), etc. besides experienced agronomists are also available for quick, timely, and most effective procedures.
On the other hand, smaller and less-equipped greenhouses often have problems with both of the mentioned obstacles. It is not worth offering complicated and expensive solutions to small and medium-size tomato growers, because they do not have access to sufficient financial and human resources.
The goal of this project is to develop a relatively inexpensive and effective solution to help growers reduce the potential risk of spread of diseases in small and medium-sized tomato greenhouses.
