Leaf Disease Detection using Deep Learning Algorithm

India is a nation of agriculture and over 70 per cent of our population relies on farming. A portion of our national revenue comes from agriculture. Agriculturalists are facing loss due to various crop diseases and it becomes tedious for cultivators to monitor the crop regularly when the cultivated area is huge. So the plant disease detection is important in agriculture field. Timely and accurate disease detection is important for the loss caused due to crop diseases which affects adversely on crop quality and yield. Early diagnosis and intervention can reduce the loss of plant due to disease and reduce the unnecessary drug usage. Earlier, automatic detection of plant disease was performed by image processing. For disease detection and classification, image processing tools and the machine learning mechanism are proposed. Crop disease will be detected through various stages of image processing such as image acquisition, pre-processing of image, image feature extraction, feature classification, disease prediction and fertilizer recommendation. detection of disease is important because it will may help farmers to provide proper solution to prevent these disease
