A disease and insect pest forecasting method and apparatus based on planting equipment. The method comprises the following steps: pre-building a disease and insect pest forecasting model by means of machine learning, to determine target plants which grow in planting equipment and on which disease and insect pest forecasting is to be performed (S110); obtaining growing environment data of the target plants (S120); analyzing the growing environment data to determine influence dimension information influencing the occurrence of diseases and insect pests in the target plants (S130); and forecasting whether the diseases and insect pests will occur in the target plants in the next growth stage according to the influence dimension information of the target plants and the pre-built disease and insect pest forecasting model (S140). The method and apparatus can accurately forecast whether diseases and insect pests will occur in the target plants in the next growth stage, so that the planting equipment or a user can tak
