Empowering agricultural research: A comprehensive custard apple ( Annona squamosa ) disease dataset for precise detection.

Abstract

The Custard Apple, known as sugar apple or sweetsop, spans diverse regions like India, Portugal, Thailand, Cuba, and the West Indies. This dataset holds 8226 images of Custard Apple (Annona squamosa) fruit and leaf diseases, categorized into six types: Athracnose, Blank Canker, Diplodia Rot, Leaf Spot on fruit, Leaf Spot on leaf, and Mealy Bug. It's a key resource for refining machine learning algorithms focused on detecting and classifying diseases in Custard Apple plants. Utilizing methods like deep learning, feature extraction, and pattern recognition, this dataset sharpens automated disease identification precision. Its extensive range suits testing and training disease identification techniques. Public access fosters collaboration, fast-tracking plant pathology advancements and supporting Custard Apple plant sustainability. This dataset fosters collaborative efforts, aiding disease prevention techniques to boost Custard Apple yield and refine farming. It enhances disease identification, monitoring, and management in Custard Apple production, aiming to elevate agricultural practices and crop yields.
