The invention discloses an effective identification method for soybean diseases and
insect pests, and solves the problems of
hysteresis and inaccuracy in the existing soybean
disease and
insect pest identification and identification aspects based on field
visual observation, laboratory analysis and the like in the prior art. The method comprises the following steps that a
database is established by utilizing known soybean
plant characteristic spectrums under the influence of different types of soybean diseases and
insect pests, and various identification parameters involved in soybean plants are extracted and stored under the influence of each type of
disease and insect pests in the
database in different growth periods; different identification characteristic parameters are endowed with different weights according to the difference of
disease and pest types and the difference of the influence of the disease and pest types on plants, and a discrimination model of the disease and pest types is established according to extraction results of the characteristic parameters; and the discrimination model calculation result of the characteristic parameters of the soybean
plant to be identified and the discrimination model calculation result of the
plant under each disease and
insect pest are compared, calculated and matched, so that the identification and identification of the soybean disease and
insect pest type are realized. The method has the advantages of real-time performance and quasi-real-time performance.
