ABSTRACT

Remote sensing technologies were investigated for use in detection of late-season pest infestations and wild host plants of tarnished plant bug in the Mississippi Delta. Preliminary results indicated that spider mite infestations were discernable from healthy and stressed cotton with aerial videography and spectro-radiometry. Broadleaf wild host plants of tarnished plant bug were distinct from non-host grasses in preliminary imagery and radiometry.
