A combined approach for early in-field detection of beech leaf disease using near-infrared spectroscopy and machine learning

The ability to detect diseased trees before symptoms emerge is key in forest health management because it allows for more timely and targeted intervention. The objective of this study was to develop an in-field approach for early and rapid detection of beech leaf disease (BLD), an emerging disease o...
