The goal of this research is to identify and differentiate biotic stresses under soybean production using hyperspectral camera and remote sensing spectroradiometer to pave the way for farmers and researchers to use sensors, smartphones and aerial imagery for crop management. One of our long-term goals is to make smartphone apps for farmers to assist in scouting, enabling the farmer to use their smartphone to determine the presence, severity of specific diseases to make strategic decisions on disease control.
