AI-Driven Crop Disease Prediction and Management System

Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology  ·  Area of research: Agricultural Technology and Precision Farming

Abstract

Agriculture is vital to human civilization, providing food and contributing to the economy. Crops are often vulnerable to diseases and insects, posing significant challenges during production. Early detection of crop diseases is crucial to minimizing damage and reducing costs. Traditional methods fail to provide real-time identification, but Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) offer a solution by enabling accurate detection and classification of leaf diseases. This research focuses on identifying diseases in apple, grape, corn, potato, and tomato plants. A proposed deep CNN model is compared with transfer learning approaches like VGG16. The AI-based system analyzes crop images to detect diseases early and recommends management strategies, reducing crop loss and enhancing yield. Such systems have applications in agriculture and biological research.
