Diseases in Plants
Rashmi Deshpande and Hemant Patidar
Abstract In today’s era where production of crops is increasing day-by-day, it is
also seen that harmful disease is also growing increasingly. Some of the disease being
unidentifiable is causing more harm to the production of crops. Such harm not only
causes harms crops but also farmers economical income is affected. To overcome all
these problems, we are providing an overall solution in which all the problems related
to farming which are faced by farmer. In the proposed system, it will identify the
leaf disease harming crop and providing solution along with precautions to be taken.
The system will not be limited to a particular crop leaf rather than it will detect leaf
disease of all crops. The system will also recommend farmer quantity of pesticides
to be used for crops. It will help to increase the production of crops decreasing their
economic loss.
1 Introduction
Nowadays, a new idea of smart farming has been applied where field conditions
are controlled and tracked using the self-operating systems. The disease’s self-
recognition is focused on recognizing the signs of illness. So that knowledge about
the incidence of the disease could be given to the farmers quickly and accurately.
It helps in reducing monitoring of huge fields by farmers. The disease may vary
from crop to crop which includes change in shape, size, color, or texture. The emer-
gence of the disease on the plant will develop in substantial loss agricultural product.
Awareness for disease of leaf is essential for decision-making in crop situations and
decision-making regarding disease managing.
A plant disease is a situation caused by an infectious agent or factor to the
ecosystem. Fungi, bacteria, and viruses are among the species that can cause this
disease. Parasites such as insects and mites can also be found eating the plant tissues
resulting in diseased sections.
