Agriculture is the backbone of the country as it feeds the human race. India’s top third crop cultivation is the potato. The potatoes are propagated by vegetative methods where several pathogens tend to assemble over succeeding generations causing a reduction in the crop yield and quality of the crop. The yield of the potato production is most likely affected by the virus compared to the bacteria and fungus and there is a need to develop a model which diagnoses the disease at the initial stage. Long ago scientists had found the disease caused to the potato tuber, and leaf by the virus by laboratory methods Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), etc., but it needs large infrastructure, labor management, and more time to diagnose the disease. This leads to intensive research in the field of virology. The potato-growing countries have suffered due to the disease-causing agents from the viruses which decreased the crop yield.
