The effects of plant diseases on agricultural production worldwide contribute to significant economic and post-harvest losses. To maintain the sustainability of the farming sector, the early detection of plant and pathogens is essential. Non - destructive methods for tracking the health conditions of plants in real-time applications are among the most realistic and feasible in this regard. Owing to non - destructive methods and non - contact measuring devices, thermal imaging advancement has become an essential technique in all fields. Thermal imaging operates by emitting infrared irradiation in all materials. The method, therefore, uses radiation to create an image of the thermal distribution of the body surface. This approach is useful for all areas where the difference in temperature helps in the area/object analyses. Therefore, this paper briefly explores the potential for thermal imaging to be used to detect plant disease in the control area and the field.
