Smart Agritech : An Enhanced Solution for Advanced Plant Disease Detection, Remediation, and Data-Driven Agriculture

Plant diseases can have a detrimental effect on crop yield and quality, posing significant challenges to global food security. Early and accurate disease detection is essential for timely intervention and mitigation. In this study, we propose a novel approach for plant disease detection using a deep learning method based on a state-of-the-art convolutional neural network, ResNet9 architecture. The ResNet9 model is trained on a diverse dataset of plant images, including both healthy and diseased plants, representing different plant species and diseases. Our method leverages the power of deep learning to automatically learn discriminative features from plant images, enabling it to distinguish between healthy and diseased plants with a high degree of accuracy. We evaluate the performance of our model on a real-world dataset of plant images, and the results demonstrate its effectiveness in disease detection. The model achieves a high accuracy rate, indicating its potential for field deployment to assist farmers in monitoring and managing plant health. In conclusion, our study presents a promising solution for automated plant disease detection, providing farmers and agronomists with a practical tool to identify and combat plant diseases early, ultimately contributing to improving crop productivity and food security.
