Highlights of 1st International Conference on Sustainable and Intelligent Phytoprotection (ICSIP 2025)

ICSIP 2025 is dedicated to celebrating scientific achievements in the realm of sustainable and intelligent phytoprotection. Historically, scientific inquiry and practical application in phytoprotection have predominantly stemmed from disciplines such as chemistry, biology, and ecology. However, the landscape is rapidly evolving with the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Cutting-edge technologies including Satellite Remote Sensing, Radar Detection, UAV Monitoring, Aerial Image Processing, Internet of Things, Big Data, Blockchain, and Artificial Intelligence have yielded remarkable breakthroughs.

This paradigm shift has given rise to the interdisciplinary field of "Intelligent Phytoprotection," which explores novel research avenues and practical applications leveraging emerging technologies. Hence, the theme of this conference is "Sustainable and Intelligent Phytoprotection," encapsulating the ethos of environmentally conscious, technologically adept plant protection strategies.

ICSIP 2025 serves as a global platform for academics, leading researchers, professionals, and industry stakeholders to converge, exchange knowledge, showcase recent advancements, ideate on future trends, and address challenges in the field. By fostering dialogue and collaboration between computer science and traditional phytoprotection domains, the conference aims to pave the way for the realization of "Sustainable and Intelligent Phytoprotection." Through innovative research ideas and solutions, the goal is to cultivate a more efficient and effective approach to phytoprotection and development, ensuring the longevity and vitality of agricultural ecosystems.
