Abstract:Grapevines face significant threats from various diseases during their growth cycle, including downy mildew, powdery mildew, botrytis cinerea, anthracnose, and black rot. Current reliance on extensive chemical spraying for disease control has led to persistent environmental challenges such as soil contamination and pesticide residues, resulting in ecological degradation of vineyards and economic losses. This necessitates the development of classified and hierarchical management strategies for major grape diseases. The contemporary research progress in grape disease identification, detection, and classification methodologies was systematically examined, with particular emphasis on latent period detection and symptomatic phase assessment technologies. The analysis encompassed molecular biological detection, spectral analysis, imaging techniques, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), satellite remote sensing, and multi-source data fusion approaches, complemented by machine learning and deep learning-based recognition systems for disease classification, object detection, and severity grading. Critical challenges were identified in current research paradigms, including limited applicability of detection methods across diverse cultivation scenarios, insufficient generalizability of classification models, technical barriers in on-site multi-modal and multi-disease collaborative detection, incomplete understanding of dynamic pathological progression, and reduced recognition accuracy for diseases with similar symptomatic expressions. The study further elucidated the underlying causes of these limitations through comparative analysis of recent algorithmic advancements in disease detection, evaluating performance metrics and optimization strategies. Future research directions emphasized the development of intelligent detection systems for complex natural environments, establishment of generalizable detection-classification frameworks, smal-sample learning and fine-grained recognition techniques, dynamic disease progression tracking with lesion prediction capabilities, and integrated pest management equipment incorporating diagnostic data. These advancements aimed to establish a technological foundation for precision phytopharmaceutical applications and intelligent disease management in modern viticulture.
