The present invention discloses an endophytic fungal strain Magnaporthaceae sp. M-B927 and an application thereof, and belongs to the technical filed of microbial applications. The deposit number of the endophytic fungal strain M-B927 is CCTCC M 2021503, and the scientific name thereof is Magnaporthaceae sp. The endophytic fungal strain M-B927 can enhance the resistance of rice against seedling leaf blast with a control efficiency of 73.06% and a disease index reduced by 52.22. Popularization and application of the biological control efficiency of the endophytic fungus M-B927 against seedling leaf blast in rice has great potential in the field of agriculture.

A method for classifying plants for agricultural purposes. The method includes: detecting a field section having plants using an optical detection unit inclined toward the field section to obtain image information having a rear image edge having an image width and a front image edge having a larger image width; classifying the plants in the image information into first and second plant classes using an algorithm to treat the plants of the second plant class with a liquid spray agent, in accordance with the classification. The step of classifying comprises a step of reclassifying, in which classified plants are reclassified from the second plant class to the first plant class using the algorithm if they extend in a rear image section of the image information defined by a defined image separation line from a lateral image edge of the image information maximally up to a defined reclassification boundary line.
