Cereal Pest AID

Using AI to improve integrated pest management

Cereal Pest AID is a University of Idaho project that uses smart phones and artificial intelligence to automate identification of insect pests that cost cereal crop growers millions of dollars each year. These pests threaten wheat and common rotation crops including peas, chickpeas, barley, oilseeds including rapeseed, canola and mustard, among others.

Submit Training Set Imagery

We need your help collecting photographs of pests and beneficial insects observed in cereal cropping systems (cereals and rotation crops) throughout the region. These photos will be used to train our computer algorithm to enable the system to generate accurate identifications of unknown samples.

Explore Insect Pests

Learn about common insect pests — their biology and life history, what host plants they can damage, and recommended management strategies. Includes links to addition resources.

Identify Your Bug

TOOL UNDER DEVELOPMENT

Suspect you have a pest and wonder what course of action to take? Upload a photo of your insect and let our system identify it. We’ll also provide information about potential threats often associated with certain pests and provide decision support tools.

Join the Community
