نبذة مختصرة : Early pest detection in edible crops demands sensing solutions that can run at the edge under tight power, budget, and maintenance constraints. This review synthesizes peer-reviewed work (2015–2025) on three modality families—vision/AI, spectroscopy/imaging spectroscopy, and indirect sensors—restricted to edible crops and studies reporting some implementation or testing (n = 178; IEEE Xplore and Scopus). Each article was scored with a modality-aware performance–cost–implementability (PCI) rubric using category-specific weights, and the inter-reviewer reliability was quantified with weighted Cohen’s κ. We translated the evidence into compact decision maps for common deployment profiles (low-power rapid rollout; high-accuracy cost-flexible; and block-scale scouting). Across the corpus, vision/AI and well-engineered sensor systems more often reached deployment-leaning PCI (≥3.5: 32.0% and 33.3%, respectively) than spectroscopy (18.2%); the median PCI was 3.20 (AI), 3.17 (sensors), and 2.60 (spectroscopy). A Pareto analysis highlighted detector/attention models near (P,C,I)≈(4,5,4); sensor nodes spanning balanced (4,4,4) and ultra-lean (2,5,4) trade-offs; and the spectroscopy split between the early-warning strength (5,4,3) and portability (4,3,4). The inter-rater agreement was substantial for sensors and spectroscopy (pooled quadratic κ = 0.73–0.83; up to 0.93 by dimension) and modest for imaging/AI (PA vs. Author 2: κquadratic=0.30–0.44), supporting rubric stability with adjacency-dominated disagreements. The decision maps operationalize these findings, helping practitioners select a fit-for-purpose modality and encouraging a minimum PCI metadata set to enable reproducible, deployment-oriented comparisons.
