Spectral imaging is a technique that captures and analyzes the spectral information of an object, such as its reflectance, transmittance, or fluorescence. It has been widely used in various fields, such as remote sensing, and food quality assessment. In recent years, spectral imaging has also emerged as a promising tool for crop disease diagnosis, as

The olive black scale, Saissetia oleae (Olivier), is a significant pest of olive crops worldwide. The developmental, reproductive, and population growth parameters of S. oleae were evaluated under five constant temperature conditions (18°C to 33°C). Developmental durations significantly decreased with increasing temperatures. Female lifespan decreased from 161.6 days at 18°C to 104.3 days at 33°C,

Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) are one of the serious threats to agricultural production worldwide, causing enormous economic losses and posing a threat to food security. This review outlines a few important groups of PPNs, their economic losses, and current control approaches. Marker Assisted Selection (MAS) has been recognized as a precise and efficient approach for developing

Despite the importance of potato crops for food security, it is threatened by fungal diseases. Late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans is one of the oomycetes that pose a major threat to global potato production. In this review, we compiled the recent data on P. infestans impacts on potato crops with a focus on the

Euphyllura olivina Costa (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) threatens olive crops, necessitating an understanding of temperature's impact on its development and reproduction for effective management. To investigate these effects, laboratory-based experiments were conducted under constant temperatures ranging from 15 to 40 °C. The egg incubation period decreased significantly with rising temperatures, from 12.7 days at 15 °C to 3.2 days

Nematodes are microscopic microorganisms that parasitize the roots of vegetable crops, resulting in significant yield losses and quality reduction. Chemical nematicides are often ineffective, expensive, or harmful to the environment and human health. Therefore, there is a need for alternative and sustainable methods to manage nematode infestations. One such method is the use of beneficial

The root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica is a significant pathogen that causes substantial yield losses in tomato plants. Moroccan farmers generally lack knowledge regarding the density of this pathogen, which can trigger visible and localised symptoms. Additionally, regional studies that establish damage thresholds for this issue are scarce. This study investigated the damage threshold of M.

Plant parasitic nematodes (PPN) cause significant damage to a broad range of vegetables and crops, worldwide. Biological control agents (BCA) represent a promising approach to manage these dangerous organisms. A comprehensive overview is presented on fundamental mechanisms governing the interactions between beneficial BCA vs PPN, alongside exploring the diverse biological and molecular relationships crucial to
