CNN-based Plant Leaf Disease Detection: A Key Solution for Enhancing Agricultural Productivity

Abstract

Agriculture plays a pivotal role in our lives and holds significant importance in our economy. Proper management of agricultural practices is essential for maximizing profits in agricultural production. However, many farmers lack expertise in identifying and managing plant leaf diseases, leading to reduced crop yields. Since agricultural productivity directly impacts the profitability of farming, efficient disease detection and management are crucial. To address this issue, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) emerge as a viable solution for leaf disease detection and classification. The primary objective of this research is to develop a robust CNN-based system capable of detecting and classifying leaf diseases in various crops such as apple, grape, corn, potato, tomato, and more. In this research, the CNN algorithm was utilised, and the accuracy was $\mathbf{9 7. 5 8 \%}$. The system’s application will enable farmers to monitor large fields of crops, facilitating early detection and treatment of diseases. The significance of plant leaf disease detection spans across multiple sectors, including Biological Research and Agriculture Institutes. Detecting diseases promptly can help implement timely medical treatments, thereby mitigating the negative impacts on crop health and productivity. Moreover, such a system can assist in monitoring crop health on a larger scale, benefiting the agricultural sector as a whole.
