Abstract

Rhizoctonia patches can be easily identified on both normal (RGB) and NDVI images captured by UAV.

Mapping shows the pattern of patch distribution across a paddock, highlighting areas of crop with high and low levels of rhizoctonia patches.

Maps can be used to determine the best fungicide treatment approach for susceptible crops such as blanket applications or zoning to optimise economic returns.
