Control

The use of antibiotics is not permitted in Switzerland; moreover, no other medication exists to combat European foul brood. Hives with symptoms must therefore be destroyed in order to limit the outbreak, and the contaminated material must be sanitised. Since prevention is the best cure, early detection is desirable. Numerous studies have been undertaken and documents have been created at the Swiss Bee Research Centre and elsewhere to draw the attention of beekeepers to these problems and inform them about the causes and the control measures to be implemented.

Résumé:

There is provided a method of assessing a characteristic of a plant ( 2 ) , comprising : obtaining a training dataset , wherein the training dataset comprises first data characterising a first electrical signal obtained from a first plant during a first time period when a stressor is present in the first plant or a growth environment of the first plant , second data characterising a second electrical signal obtained from the first plant during a second time period when a stressor is not present in the first plant or the growth environment of the first plant , and third data indicative of a characteristic of the first plant during the first time period and a characteristic of the first plant during the second time period ; training a machine learning model based upon the training dataset ; obtaining a third electrical signal from a second plant ; and assessing , using the trained machine learning model , a characteristic of the second plant based upon the third electrical signal
