Abstract

A hybrid AI framework combining a spatial–spectral–temporal Transformer and unsupervised clustering was applied to five microgreen species—Pak Choi Cabbage, Tatsoi Mustard, Red Mizuna, Chinese Cabbage, and Arugula—grown for 3–4 weeks under water, nutrient, and combined stresses. Across five datasets collected within six months, the system achieved a Macro-F1 of 0.91 and a pre-symptomatic F1 of 0.88, enabling early detection before visible symptoms. Applications include NASA’s APH, Mars and Moon habitats, and terrestrial precision agriculture.
