Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Southern leaf blight (SLB) is a foliar disease of maize (Zea mays L.) caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Cochliobolus heterostrophus. Genetic resistance is the most effective control method for SLB. Developing disease resistant maize lines requires field trials during which disease phenotypes must be visually assessed. Remote sensing using drones is an emerging technology that can be lev...
