Abstract

Farmers are often concerned about plant disease since it can greatly affect crop productivity and quality. Expert manual inspection is required in traditional techniques of identifying plant diseases, which can be time- and money-consuming. Deep learning algorithms have made automated plant disease detection systems more practical. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are used in our proposed deep learning- based technique for the diagnosis of plant diseases. The suggested system uses plant photos as input to determine the presence of illnesses in the plants and then provides treatment recommendations. The CNN can learn the visual patterns connected to various diseases because it is trained using a sizable dataset of photos of healthy and diseased plants. This system also includes IOT so that after the result is acquired, it will communicate via IOT. Several publicly accessible datasets of plant photos were used in our studies to gauge the performance of the suggested approach. The experimental results show that the suggested approach detects several plant diseases, such as tomato bacterial spot, potato early blight, and apple black rot, with high accuracy. Overall, our approach shows the promise of deep learning methods for automatically detecting plant diseases, which can assist farmers in identifying and treating plant diseases more quickly and successfully.
