The disease occurrence phenomena in plants are season-based which is dependent on the presence of the pathogen, crops, environmental conditions, and varieties grown. Some plant varieties are particularly subject to outbreaks of diseases; on the other hand, some are opposite to them. Huge numbers of diseases are seen on the plant leaves and stems. Diseases management is a challenging task. Generally, diseases are seen on the leaves or stems of the plant. Image processing is the best way for the detection of plant leaf diseases. Different kinds of diseases occur because of the attack of bacteria, fungi, and viruses. The monitoring of leaf area is an important tool in studying physiological capabilities associated with plant boom. Plant disorder is usually an unusual growth or dysfunction of a plant. Sometimes diseases damage the leaves of plants.

This paper concerns the plant leaf area measurement based on improved image processing. Firstly, the referenced rectangle was detected with 2-side scanning method. Then the leaf region was segmented according to 2G-R-B of every pixel with two different thresholds, and by using of dilatation operation, the trimap of leaf image was got. Next the pixels in unknown area were classified to the foreground or background area with improved knockout method and the exact leaf was segmented. Lastly, the leaf area was calculated according to the pixels proportion between leaf region and the referenced rectangle. Experiment results show this method has good accuracy and rapid speed.

Abstract The productivity of horticultural crops in an artificial light condition are highly influenced by the structure of plant and the area coverage. Accurate measurement of leaf area is very important for predicting plant water demand and optimal growth. In this paper, we proposed an image processing algorithm to estimate the ice-plant leaf area from the RGB images under the artificial light condition. The images were taken using a digital camera and the RGB images were transformed to grayscale images. A binary masking was applied from a grayscale image by classifying each pixel, belonging to the region of interest from the background. Then the masked images were segmented and the leaf region was filled using region filling technique. Finally, the leaf area was calculated from the number of pixel and using known object area. The experiment was carried out in three different light conditions with same plant variety (Ice-plant, Mesembryanthemum crystallinum). The results showed that the correlation between the actual and measured leaf area was found over 0.97 (R2:0.973) by our proposed method. Different light condition also showed significant impact on plant growth. Our results inspired further research and development of algorithms for the specific applications.

ABSTRACT The intensive cultivation of vegetables with frequent chemical fertilization may cause accumulation of nutrients in the soil. This, in turn, may reduce crop yields and damage the environment due to contamination of ground water and rivers. Thus, to increase the effects of P (0, 100, 200, 300 and 400 kg ha -1 of P2O5) and K (0, 60, 120, 180 and 240 kg ha-1 of K2O) doses on the growth and productivity of radish cultivars (Sakata 19 and Sakata 25) in a soil with high levels of these nutrients, two experiments were conducted in randomized blocks with the factors cultivars and doses arranged in a 2 x 5 factorial design with three replications. Number of leaves per plant, leaf area, shoot and root dry mass, total and commercial productivity, percentage of cracked roots and P and K contents in the plant and in the soil were evaluated. The Sakata 19 cultivar performed better than the Sakata 25 in both experiments. The fertilization with P or K did not influence the growth and the productivity of both radish cultivars. Therefore, both cultivars of radish evaluated do not need to be fertilized with P and K when planted in a Latosol with high levels of these nutrients.

Research was carried out on onion landrace (Ramata di Montoro) for seed production in southern Italy, with the aim to evaluate the effects on yield and quality of four bulb planting times in factorial combination with four densities, using a split plot design with three replicates. The number of flower stalks per plant, their height and diameter, and the inflorescence diameter decreased with the bulb planting delay and density increase. The highest plant leaf area and LAI (leaf area index), seed yield, number, and mean weight were recorded with the earliest planting time, with the lowest bulb density eliciting the highest plant leaf area but the lowest LAI and seed yield per hectare. The ratio between seeds and inflorescence weight, and seed germinability, decreased with the planting delay and density increase. Seed oil, protein, and antioxidant content (polyphenols and selenium) were highest with the last crop cycle. The polyunsaturated fatty acids, predominant in oil, increased with planting time delay, whereas the monounsaturated fatty acids decreased. Linoleic, oleic, and palmitic acid prevailed among polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, and saturated fatty acids, respectively. Planting from 20 December to 10 January with 3.3 cold-stored bulbs per m2 was the most effective combination in terms of seed yield per hectare, whereas seed oil content and quality were the best, with the last crop cycle starting on 21 February, independent of bulb density.
