Early plant disease detection and providing the control measures have become highly desirable to improve crop yield. Leaf wetness duration (LWD) is one of the essential parameters related to the development of fungal disease on the leaf canopy. To measured LWD, the leaf wetness sensor (LWS) is widel...
