Medicinal plants are very essential in maintaining the physical and mental health of human beings. For providing better treatment, Identification and classification of medicinal plants is essential. In this research paper, main objective is to create a medicinal plant identification system using Deep Learning concept. This system identifies and classifies the medicinal plant species with high accuracy. In this system, five different Indian medicinal plant species namely Pungai, Jamun (Naval), Jatropha curcas, kuppaimeni and Basil are used for identification and classification. The dataset contains 58,280 images, includes approximately 10,000 images for each species. The leaf texture, shape, color, physiological or morphological as the features set for leaf identification. The CNN architecture is used to train the collected dataset and develop the system with high accuracy. As result of this model, 96.67% success rate in finding the corresponding medicinal plant. This model is advisable to use as early detection tool for finding the medicinal plant because of its best success rate

The experiment was carried out during 2019-20 at P-2 Pure Mysore Multivoltine Basic Seed Farm (BSF), National Silkworm Seed Organisation, Nagenahalli, Karnataka to know the effect of nutrient management on the growth and yield of G4 mulberry variety and its subsequent bioassay of multivoltine silkworm, Pure Mysore. The mulberry garden (three years old) with G4 variety planted in paired row system was used for the experiment with seven treatments and three replications. The growth parameters (average of 5 crops) viz., plant height, number of branches per plant, lowest number of leaf in 100g weight, weight of individual leaf, weight of 100 fresh leaf, leaf yield per plant and leaf yield per ha-1were significantly highest (134.6 cm, 14.0, 24.0, 4.18g, 384g, 800g and 55.55 Mt) with the application of 100 % RDF, poshan spray and application of vermicompost at5 t/ha/year. The results of the bio-assay (average of five rearings) also showed the superiority forweight of 10 full grown larvae (27.2 gm), single cocoon weight (1.27g), single shell weight (0.18g), shell ratio (14.25%), ERR (95.00%) pupation (92.00%), number of cocoons/kg (787) and yield per 100 dfls (52.10 kg) in the treatment having 100 % RDF, poshan spray and application of vermicompost of at5 t/ha than other treatments. Combined application of organic and inorganic sources of nutrients increased the productivity of the mulberry in G4 variety and subsequently better performance of Pure Mysore multivoltine seed cocoon parameters.
