Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) is a serious, emerging tomato pathogen that has a significant impact on the quality and quantity of tomato production worldwide. Detecting ToCV via means of spectral measurements in an early pre-symptomatic stage offers an alternative to the existing laboratory methods, leading to better disease management in the field. In this study, leaf spectra from healthy and diseased leaves were measured with a spectrometer. The diseased leaves were subjected to RT-qPCR for the detection and quantification of the titer of ToCV. Neighborhood component analysis (NCA) algorithm was employed for the feature selection of the effective wavelengths and the most important vegetation indices out of the 24 that were tested. Two machine learning methods, namely XY-fusion network (XY-F) and multilayer perceptron with automated relevance determination (MLP–ARD), were employed for the estimation of the disease existence and viral load in the tomato leaves. The results showed that before outlier elimination, the MLP–ARD classifier generally outperformed the XY-F network with an overall accuracy of 92.1% against 88.3% for the XY-F. Outlier elimination contributed to the performance of the classifiers as the overall accuracy for both XY-F and MLP–ARD reached 100%.
