Abstract

The Indian economy relies heavily on the agricultural sector. Improving crop and plant yields is crucial because 60% of India's labour force is involved in this industry. It took until recently for Indian farmers to see increases in both production and selling prices due to a variety of crop-related ailments.  Modern picture identification systems, such as Convolutional Neural Networks, are able to make precise and rapid diagnoses. In order to correctly detect plant diseases, this article utilizes pre-trained models that are built on convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Tuned-hyper-parameters for ResNet50, DenseNet121, VGG16, and Inception V4 in particular. We also compared our results to those of other similar, state-of-the-art investigations. We can see that DenseNet-121 gets a success rate of 99.81% from the validation data. This paves the way for artificial intelligence solutions for smallholder farmers and shows that convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can classify plant illnesses.
