Abstract

Crop disease is a serious problem for agricultural performance, food security and economic stability around the world. Early and accurate detection of agricultural diseases is important to minimize losses, maintain culture health and ensure optimal profitability. This study examines the use of Adhesive Neural Networks (CNNs) for the automatic detection and classification of agricultural diseases using images. Known for exceptional indicators in image recognition problems, CNNs are used to analyze visual models and symptoms of disease in cultured leaves. This study uses modern CNN architectures such as VGG16, ResNet, Inception, and Densenet to develop reliable detection structures. The study highlights the potential to transform deep agricultural education by reducing reliance on manual testing in high-intensity labor forces and promoting sustainable agricultural processes. The results of this study contribute to improving agriculture accuracy and paving the way for in-depth research in the integration of artificial intelligence-based solutions in agricultural systems.
