TEAM NO. 15- PLANT DISEASE DETECTION USING CNN

ABSTRACT:

TITLE:
Plant disease detection using CNN
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
To detect diseases accurately in various plant species using convolutional neural networks.

MOTIVATION:

Developing countries like India the economy mainly depends on agriculture not only to feed an ever-
growing population but it is an important source of energy and a solution to solve the problem of
global warming. Due to plant diseases the quality and quantity of agricultural products is reduced.
Diseases to the plants caused mainly by the fungi and bacteria and the lifecycle of micro-organism is
difficult to predict. Some of the plant diseases do not have visibility during the early stage, it only
appears at that final stage. Due to loss in the production, many farmers attempt suicides which is a
serious issue. The agricultural losses are huge because of these diseases. Detecting and curing these
diseases at earlier stages helps save a lot of money and effort.

The core idea behind doing this project is to take PlantVillage dataset which contains many leaf
diseases of many categories so we have taken some the fruits and train the neural network
regarding identification of disease for each fruit separately.

APPLICATION:

The product has its major application in the field of agriculture to identify diseases at an early stage
in order to control using fertilizers which results in more production of the crop and less wastage
because resources are limited and we need to save as much as we can.
