>Each year, plant diseases take a bite out of agricultural yields and profits, causing estimated global agricultural losses of $30 billion to $50 billion. At [NC State University](https://www.ncsu.edu/), experts in optical engineering, data analytics, and robotics are working with plant breeders and pathologists to get around a bottleneck that hinders the development of disease-resistant crops.
>The team recently won a three-year, $740,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture to develop a software and hardware package to help tomato breeders score diseases in the field and accurately measure their severity.
>That information will be key to breeders’ developing higher-yielding, disease-resistant varieties.
>The idea, says principal investigator[ Lirong Xiang](https://bae.ncsu.edu/people/lxiang3/), “is to combine drone-based field scouting with ground-vehicle scouting.”
