摘要

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is one of the most destructive fungal diseases in global wheat production. Traditional methods for FHB detection face limitations such as high technical expertise requirements, limited coverage scope, and insufficient timeliness, making them inadequate for modern precision agriculture management demands. To address this challenge, this study proposes MSA-YOLO, a task-specific lightweight optimization framework based on YOLO11 for wheat spikelet FHB detection. MSA-YOLO integrates a MobileOne-based lightweight backbone, an SE-enhanced C2PSA feature recalibration module, and an Adaptive Threshold Focal Loss (ATFL) function to reduce model complexity and improve the learning of difficult diseased-spikelet samples. The dataset consists of 629 wheat spike images with spikelet-level annotations, covering multiple growth and developmental stages. Results show that MSA-YOLO reduces the parameter count from 2.58 to 1.65M and computational complexity from 6.4 GFLOPs to 3.9 GFLOPs. Comparative analysis with YOLOv10n, YOLOv9t, YOLOv8n, and YOLOv5n models indicates that MSA-YOLO maintains competitive detection performance with lower computational cost, supporting its potential use in lightweight wheat FHB monitoring systems.
