Monitoring Population Phenology of Asian Citrus Psyllid Using Deep Learning

Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Liviidae: Hemiptera) is a menacing and notorious pest of citrus plants. It vectors a phloem vessel-dwelling bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, which is a causative pathogen of the serious citrus disease known as Huanglongbing. Huanglongbing...

description Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Liviidae: Hemiptera) is a menacing and notorious pest of citrus plants. It vectors a phloem vessel-dwelling bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, which is a causative pathogen of the serious citrus disease known as Huanglongbing. Huanglongbing disease is a major bottleneck in the export of citrus fruits from Pakistan. It is being responsible for huge citrus economic losses globally. In the current study, several prediction models were developed based on regression algorithms of machine learning to monitor different phenological stages of Asian citrus psyllid to predict its population about different abiotic variables (average maximum temperature, average minimum temperature, average weekly temperature, average weekly relative humidity, and average weekly rainfall) and biotic variable (host plant phenological patterns) in citrus-growing regions of Pakistan. The pest prediction models can be used for proper applications of pesticides only when needed for reducing the environmental and cost impacts of pesticides. Pearson’s correlation analysis was performed to find the relationship between different predictor (abiotic and biotic) variables and pest infestation rate on citrus plants. Multiple linear regression, random forest regressor, and deep neural network approaches were compared to predict population dynamics of Asian citrus psyllid. In comparison with other regression techniques, a deep neural network-based prediction model resulted in the least root mean squared error values while predicting egg, nymph, and adult populations.
