Introduction
 Overview
• Plant disease detection in agriculture involves various methods, from traditional visual
inspection by farmers to modern technologies like drones and smartphone apps.
• Farmers visually inspect plants for symptoms like discoloration or wilting. Advanced
techniques include molecular methods like PCR and DNA sequencing, as well as
immunoassays to detect specific proteins. Remote sensing technologies and image
processing analyze plant color, temperature, and images for signs of disease.
• Sensor networks monitor environmental conditions, while smartphone apps use image
recognition to identify diseases quickly. Decision support systems integrate data for
informed management decisions.
• Together, these methods help farmers detect and manage plant diseases, ensuring healthier
crops and better food security.

Introduction contd..
 Motivations
• Addressing the imperative for timely disease identification in crops is paramount for
preserving food security.
• Swift identification enables farmers to prevent extensive crop losses by initiating targeted
interventions such as pesticide application or crop rotation to contain the spread of diseases.
• This proactive approach not only safeguards food production but also sustains economic
stability by mitigating the adverse impacts on farmers and local economies.
• Moreover, by minimizing the need for excessive chemical inputs, timely disease identification
contributes to environmental conservation and promotes sustainable agricultural practices.
• Investing in research, technology, and educational initiatives can empower farmers with the
tools and knowledge needed to detect and manage diseases effectively, thereby fortifying our
agricultural systems against potential threats and ensuring a reliable food supply for the future.
Literature Survey

 Existing System

• In plant disease detection app they utilize basic image preprocessing

techniques and they deal with small datasets. Their performance of the
model across different datasets are not that reliable and the evaluation
quietly differs.

Literature Survey Contd..
Problem Identification

• In other plant disease detection app the utilization of basic image preprocessing
techniques does not ensures robustness and diversity in the dataset, leading to
average model generalization.
• They do not provide higher accuracy and better performance as they do not deal
with large datasets. Other app doesn't include thorough model evaluation metrics
such as accuracy on training, validation, and test sets.
apps lacks features like providing a platform by posting their progression among users within the app
which enable users to build and accelerate their will power and motivation to lead a healthy life and along with
that we don't need to switch between different apps to get diet plan, exercise plan, sleep schedule, workout
tracker, calorie intake, and daily workout progress.
