The potential of digital IR thermography (DIRT) for the detection of leaf diseases was investigated under controlled conditions using cucumber leaves infected by Pseudoperonospora cubensis causing downy mildew, and apple leaves infected by the apple scab fungus, Venturia inaequalis. Pathogenesis of both fungi caused significant changes in transpiration that could be assessed quantitatively by DIRT. In a field experiment, site-specific differences in downy mildew severity could be localized using this method. However, abiotic factors may interfere with thermographic disease detection.
