Abstract :
Parasitic attacks and environmental stresses may decrease the yield of crop plants and even cause damages to forests. A diagnostic system has been developed for monitoring early stress states in plants in order to set up the most suited intervention for keeping plants in their optimal state. The study of natural leaf fluorescence gives useful informations about photosynthetic apparatus so that it appears to be a valid inspection tool for monitoring plants metabolism. The proposed instrument integrates the knowledge of human experts and laboratory diagnostic techniques for an on-site, non-intrusive and remote analysis with a neuro-fuzzy data fusion for the overall response about plants health.
