Abstract* Background Environmental degradation has increased the frequency of agricultural pests, resulting in crop yield losses of 10–30% in tropical and subtropical regions. In the Cañete Valley, Lima, Peru, species such as Spodoptera frugiperda, Liriomyza huidobrensis, and Bemisia tabaci pose critical threats to agriculture. Traditional pest monitoring methods are slow, subjective, and imprecise. To address this problem, this study proposes PestNeuroVision, a mobile application that implement
