ICT-Based Automated Systems for Managing Potato Bacterial Diseases
The Agricultural Research Center is the largest applied research institution in Egypt, the Middle East, and Africa. https://www.arc.sci.eg/Entity/Profile?recID=1&lang=2

TOPICS

Topic 2.2.1-2026 (RIA) Novel remote and non-invasive ICT monitoring and control systems against disease and pest infestation

KEYWORDS

potato bacterial diseases: Sensor networks; ecology; climate; soil characteristics; Microbial biodiversity; AI-powered diagnostic tools, and innovative technologies

DESCRIPTION

1. Plant pathology and soil microbiology teams will provide expertise in disease epidemiology, pathogen biology, and sustainable management techniques. 2. ICT and engineering partners will develop sensor networks, AI-powered diagnostic tools, and automated control platforms for real-time monitoring and emergency response. 3. To ensure the scaling and adaptability, agricultural research stations and farmer cooperatives will conduct multi-site studies in a variety of Mediterranean ecosystems. 4. Capacity development: Training programs and knowledge transfer workshops will help farmers, extension services, and policymakers encourage and sustain innovative technologies. 5. Socioeconomic integration: Social scientists and economists will evaluate adoption challenges, cost-effectiveness, and policy frameworks in order to optimize impact and assure acceptance.

REMARKS

Two Egyptian organizations would be involved: Agricultural Research Center & Faculty of Engineering (Cairo University or Nile University)
