Description

Dimitrios Kasampalis, Pavlos Tsouvaltzis, and Anastasios Siomos test in a 2024 study whether light scans can spot sprayed baby lettuce without harming the leaves. Buyer demand for the crop is rising, and safety now drives choice at the shelf. A fast, touch free check for spray residue would serve growers and buyers.

Plants got two fungicides and two insecticides at label rates, with water sprayed controls beside them. Light readings from 400 to 2500 nm were taken to harvest and through cold storage. Leaf chemistry, from defense enzymes to damage marks, was tracked in parallel. Classifiers paired with trait picking sorted sprayed from clean leaves in the data. The method aims at checks during growth and after harvest alike.
