Abstract

Crop failure caused by disease-causing pests is an important problem. Farmers struggle with disease management and detection due to inadequate interventions. The goal is to create an automatic system to efficiently identify plant diseases from photos while reducing crop losses and increasing productivity. Machine learning algorithms offer a faster and cheaper alternative to visual inspection by experts. The main goal is to perform image analysis for early diagnosis and effective disease control. The use of CNN architecture for plant disease classification and detection offers a promising solution for plant health monitoring and risk mitigation. Given the threats to crop productivity and global food security, reliable methods for early detection and accurate classification are essential. CNNs enable efficient analysis of vast plant image databases, enabling accurate plant disease identification with speed and accuracy. The multi-layer CNN approach extracts feature and refines the representation, facilitating accurate prediction and accurate diagnosis. Transfer learning methods accelerate system development and allow adaptation to plant disease-specific databases. Combining computer vision algorithms with CNN architecture enables real-time monitoring, early disease detection and targeted intervention, reducing yield losses and improving crop management. This approach uses AI, image analysis, and plant pathology to solve the challenges of sustainable agriculture and plant diseases. System performance is measured by various performance metrics.
