Researchers have developed a novel deep learning framework to classify nitrogen stress severity in plants, particularly when combined with other environmental stressors like drought and weed competition. The model integrates data from RGB, multispectral, and two infrared imaging modalities, processed by a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for spatial feature extraction and a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network for temporal analysis. This CNN-LSTM pipeline achieved a 98% accuracy, significantly outperforming a spatial-only CNN model (80.45%) and previous machine learning methods (76%), offering a promising tool for proactive crop management.
