Plant disease can directly lead to stunted growth causing bad effects on yields. An economic loss of up to $20 billion per year is estimated all over the world. Diverse conditions are the most difficult challenge for researchers due to the geographic differences that may hinder the accurate identification. In addition, traditional methods mainly rely on specialists, experience, and manuals, but the majority of them are expensive, time-consuming, and labor-intensive with difficulty detecting precisely. Therefore, a rapid and accurate approach to identify plant diseases seems so urgent for the benefit of business and ecology to agriculture.
In agriculture products, diseases are the main cause for the lessening in both quality and production of the agriculture products. Farmers puts their great effort in picking best seeds of plant and also provide proper environment for the growth of the plant, although there are lot of diseases that affects plant result in plant disease.
Recognition of the deleterious regions of plants can be considered as the solution for saving the reduction of crops and productivity. The past traditional approach for disease detection and classification requires enormous amount of time, extreme amount of work and continues farm monitoring.
Our project is regarding Plant health monitoring system and its disease
detection using Machine Learning. Our project basically consists of two parts :
- Plant health monitoring system :- These IOT device will give real time temperature, humidity and moisture value to check good conditions for crops including fertility of soil.
- Plant disease detection :- We have developed an Android application that detects plant diseases using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) using Plant Village dataset will contains 54,304 images of 14 different crops species. So, our main aim is to detect the plant disease in the early stage which can help us to minimize the damage, reduce production costs, and rise the income.
