PLANT LEAF DISEASE CLASSIFICATION

Abstract

Abstract— This research introduces a comprehensive framework for the accurate classification of plant leaf diseases across a wide spectrum of crops. The dataset includes 38 distinct disease classes, encompassing common crops such as apples, corn, grapes, and tomatoes. Leveraging the power of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), our methodology excels in automating the identification and categorization of these diseases, significantly reducing the need for manual inspection and diagnosis.With a focus on enhancing agricultural practices and crop yield, the deep learning models employed here demonstrate exceptional precision and efficiency. These models have been meticulously trained on the diverse dataset to ensure robust and accurate disease recognition.This research not only presents a valuable contribution to the field of plant pathologybut also underscores the potential of AI-driven solutions in modern agriculture. As the importance of timely disease detection continues to grow, our work serves as a catalyst for the adoption of advanced technologies in agriculture. The implications of this study extend to sustainable farming practices, increased crop productivity, and, ultimately, global food security.By addressing the complex task of plant leaf disease classification with a focus on diversity, this research paves the way for a more resilient and technology-driven agriculture sector capable of tackling evolving crop diseases effectively.
