Abstract excerpt
Accurately assessing weevil damage is critical when evaluating banana germplasm. This enables identification of genotypes resistant to the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus, for use as elite parents or for advancement in banana breeding programs. Although visual observation remains the most common phenotyping approach, it is limited by individual bias. This study investigated the potential of image analyses as...
