Smart Agriculture and Plant Disease Prediction System- An overview

Agriculture acts as the basic stamina of a country, contributing more than half of the sector of the economy throughout the world. The requirement for precision agriculture is important in determining the states of the crops to find the proper treatment for the plant. Like human beings and animals, plants do suffer from diseases that affect the complete plant, including leaf, stem, fruit, root, and flower and as a result, the plant may die or cause leaf drop, flowers, fruit drop, etc. For that purpose, the appropriate diagnosis is essential for the accurate identification and treatment of plant diseases. The expert system can play an important role in stimulating agriculture's yield in India. The use of the knowledge-based system has widely increased during the last decade. IoT is an emerging paradigm that enables the communication between electronic devices and sensors through the internet which simplifies our lives concerning various domains such as environmental, industrial, agriculture, medical, transportation, etc. Several researchers have explained the IoT differently concerning individual interests and aspects. This paper presents a review of various plant diseases diagnosis methods and suggested a new idea for plant disease prediction
