Progress in the use of geospatial and remote sensing technologies in the assessment and monitoring of tomato crop diseases. Geocarto International, 37(16), 4784–4804. https://doi.org/10.1080/10106049.2021.18993031752-0762https://doi.org/10.1080/10106049.2021.1899303http://hdl.handle.net/10566/9087With a growing global population and accelerating climatechange, systematic assessment and monitoring of crop diseases isurgently required to ensure food security and production.However, current dietary transitions inclined towards vegetablessuch as tomatoes are expected to increase while effective cropdisease monitoring and assessment methods are still limited.Therefore, a state-of-the-art review of progress in the assessmentand monitoring of tomato crop diseases using geospatial technol-ogies is presented. Results show that tomato crop diseases andtheir severity could be detected and discriminated from healthyones more effectively using various remote sensing systems.Furthermore, the recent advances in RS technologies have greatlyfacilitated its integration with climatic and topo-edaphic factors todetermine the possible drivers of disease infection.enBioclimaticClimate changeFood securityAgrarian studiesTechnologyArticle
