Abstract: Digital phytosanitation is at the forefront of the Agriculture 4.0 revolution, using digital technologies and data-driven approaches for effective pest and disease management. However, these advances face technical, economic and implementation challenges such as cost, infrastructure requirements and lack of immediate economic returns. In the olive sector, digital technologies are essential for threat monitoring and pest management, contributing to quality and sustainability, but their adoption is slow, especially in traditional agricultural regions such as the Mediterranean.
