A Huge Library of Plant Pest and Disease Images and More

Mar 21, 2018

I recently came across a library of all kinds of images of pests, diseases and crops. It has lots of entries, such as “Bees of the United States”:

Alkali bee

And images of citrus pests and diseases and even different cultivars of citrus, under “Citrus ID”:

'Xie Shan" citrus cultivar

And even a few avocado images:

But there's a heck of a lot more.

Clicking on the different links and their volumes of images will take some time because of the shear number. The images have been collected as a public data base for not only academics, but also for the general public. At present, it's not too easy to search, but it's worth a look.

Here's a list of the different categories that can be perused:

Commodity Groups

Agronomic Crops

Barley

Canola

Corn

Cotton

Grain Sorghum and Small Grains

Millet

Oats

Peanuts

Rice
