description Breeding programs to develop planting materials resistant to <i>G. boninense</i> involve a manual census to monitor the progress of the disease development associated with various treatments. It is prone to error due to a lack of experience and subjective judgements. This study focuses on the early detection of <i>G. boninense</i> infection in the oil palm seedlings using near infra-red (NIR)-hyperspectral data and a support vector machine (SVM). The study aims to use a small number of wavelengths by using 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 band reflectance as datasets. These results were then compared with the results of detection obtained from the vegetation indices developed using spectral reflectance taken from the same hyperspectral sensor. Results indicated a kernel with a simple linear separation between two classes would be more suitable for <i>G. boninense</i> detection compared to the others, both for single-band reflectance and vegetation index datasets. A linear SVM which was developed using a single-band reflectance at 934 nm was identified as the best model of detection since it was not only economical, but also demonstrated a high score of accuracy (94.8%), sensitivity (97.6%), specificity (92.5%), and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) (0.95).
