TITLE Leaf Disease Detection Using Deep Learning
ABSTRACT Plant diseases significantly affect agricultural productivity and crop quality. Early and accurate disease detection is essential for improving crop yield and reducing economic losses. This paper presents a Plant Leaf Disease Detection and Recommendation System Using Deep Learning The proposed model simultaneously identifies the plant species and detects the corresponding leaf disease from an input image. The system is developed using PyTorch and deployed through a Flask web application for real-time disease prediction. In addition to disease classification, it provides treatment recommendations, preventive measures, and pesticide suggestions. The lightweight MobileNetV3 architecture ensures high accuracy with low computational cost, making the system suitable for precision agriculture and real-time farming applications.
