A Novel Machine Learning Approach for Fast and Efficient Detection of Mango Leaf Diseases

Monitoring plantation diseases is a fundamental issue for the agricultural industry. Early diagnosis of plant illnesses dramatically affects food quantity and quality. Here we focus on the case of Mangoes, whose demand is very high. To maximize earnings, mango plant diseases must be managed well. Manual mango leaf disease diagnosis is impractical in today's computerized world due to its high cost, shortage of mango experts, and variable symptoms. In this work, we provide a novel machine Learning-based mango leaf disease classification method. We build a reliable categorization system using 4000 photographs from the Kaggle dataset grouped into 8 sickness categories. Our model reaches a remarkable accuracy of 96.87% throughout the training phase, and an accuracy rate of 93.12% during the validation phase. Finally, using previously unknown data, our model demonstrates an exceptional testing accuracy rate of 94.99 %. Our solution outperforms other existing machine learning detection methods, thus proving to be very effective in enhancing the categorization of Mango Leaf disease. and, more generally, offering improved and enduring food security and safety in the future.
