This paper describes the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology to fight apple scab. Specifically, it shows how it is possible to improve the scab risk evaluation basing on the actual apple leaves development status, yielded from UAV images, as input to the infection model. For this purpose, we introduce a new index, called Leaf Development Index (LDI), which is evaluated during the main growth phases of the apple trees using an UAV equipped with both multispectral and thermal sensors. Preliminary results are reported and discussed.

Abstract
This paper describes the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology to fight apple scab. Specifically, it shows how it is possible to improve the scab risk evaluation basing on the actual apple leaves development status, yielded from UAV images, as input to the infection model. For this purpose, we introduce a new index, called Leaf Development Index (LDI), which is evaluated during the main growth phases of the apple trees using an UAV equipped with both multispectral and thermal sensors.
