Health Index Calculation
Overview
Health index calculation synthesizes multiple phenotypic signals—morphological, spectral, thermal—into composite scores representing plant vigor, stress level, or disease risk. These indices facilitate rapid triage, monitoring, and decision-making in breeding and crop management.
1. High-throughput screening for overall plant vigor in breeding nurseries
2.Monitoring crop health in controlled experiments and greenhouses
3. Early-warning systems for impending stress or disease outbreaks
4. Integrating health indices into phenology and yield prediction models
5. Decision support for irrigation/fertilizer/pesticide interventions
