Citrus black spot (CBS) is a fungal disease caused by Phyllosticta a consequence of CBS disease in citricarpa (synonym Guignardia citricarpa). CBS causes fruit lesions and signifi- severe conditions. There is a long cant yield loss in all citrus (Citrus) species. The most distinguishing CBS symptom is latent stage in the disease cycle in called hard spot, which is a circular lesion with gray tissue at the center surrounded which the CBS symptoms are not by a black margin. The spectral characteristic of CBS lesions was investigated and apparent for several months after in- compared with the spectral signature of healthy fruit tissue to determine the best fection. Symptoms usually appear at distinguishing wave band. Healthy and CBS-affected samples presented similar the time of fruit ripening (Dewdney reflectance below 500 nm and above 900 nm. However, healthy samples reflected more light between 500 and 900 nm, especially within the visible band. Also, et al., 2014). spectral reflectance of the same symptomatic lesion was acquired six times over To reduce the spread of the a 2-month period to determine the variation of symptom’s spectral signatures over disease, CBS must be efficiently con- time after being harvested. A two-sample t test was employed to compare each pair trolled in the grove. In addition, of consecutive repetitions. The results showed that the spectral signature of the CBS manual detection of CBS symptoms lesion did not change significantly over 2 months.

A support vector machine (SVM) classifier fused with blemishes caused by other was trained using the spectral reflectance data at the selected bands to identify CBS- disorders and the process is time affected samples in each repetition.
