Light spectrometer device for crop disease monitoring

Abstract

Portable devices for the early detection of crop diseases are needed to support the farmers working in the field. Spectrometers showed their potential in the detection of crop diseases. However, high interpretation skills are needed to use the currently available spectrometers. In this project, we propose a portable device that obtains a spectrum wavelength of 700 nanometers describing the information of the crop. The output of this tool is integrated into a smartphone in the form of an app, making it accessible for use in the field in real applications.
