Advance research on artificial intelligence based precision pesticide application

Traditional pesticide application mostly relies on artificial experience to identify the main diseases, pests, and weeds of crops in the unit planting area, and spray pesticides uniformly and continuously. This approach is difficult to adjust the usage and dosage of pesticides in time according to the types and severity of diseases, pests, and weeds, which may lead to insufficient or excessive use. Pesticides sprayed on non-symptom areas will also cause pollution to the ecological environment. Precision pesticide application technology provides an effective solution to balance the use of pesticides and the protection of ecological security, which is worth promoting. In recent years, artificial intelligence has achieved fruitful achievements in the fields of precision pesticide application, which has promoted the development of precision pesticide application. In order to further summarize the application progress of artificial intelligence in key technologies of precision pesticide application and explore the future development direction of artificial intelligence in precision pesticide application, this paper analyzes the application progress of artificial intelligence in the key technical fields and points out the future trend of artificial intelligence in precision pesticide application.
