Transferability of Disease Detection Models Across Regions: A Benchmark of Domain Shift in Field Imagery

Abstract

Transferability of Disease Detection Models Across Regions has moved quickly from a research idea to something a working farm
can actually use, but the evidence behind it has not always kept pace. We pull together the current evidence for transferability of
disease detection models across regions, covering the methodological, practical, governance and cost angles, with an eye on
where practice has genuinely settled and where farms and advisors are still largely working it out for themselves. Selective,
context-specific adoption looks better supported by the evidence gathered here than either broad rollout or blanket avoidance.
