Plant Leaf Disease Detection using Machine Learning

Abstract

India is a predominantly agricultural nation with a populace that relies on it to varying degrees (about 70%). The agricultural sector contributes to some of the national income. Farmers lose money due to a variety of agricultural illnesses, and large farmed areas make it difficult for cultivators to continuously monitor the crop. In the discipline of culture, algorithms for plant disease identification are crucial. In order to prevent the loss brought on by agricultural illnesses that severely influence crop quality and yield, quick and effective disease identification is crucial. With early detection and treatment, the mortality brought on by plant diseases and unneeded medication consumption can be decreased. Earlier, image processing was used to detect plant diseases on its own. Machine learning processes and image processing techniques are recommended for categorizing and identifying disorders. Crop diseases will be detected using a number of image processing stages, such as image capture, feature extraction from the raw image during pre-processing, disease prediction, feature classification, and fertilizer recommendation. It is essential to detect diseases since this will allow farmers to provide the best prevention measures. Classification, feature extraction, image processing, global image features, and machine learning are some related terms.
