Plant Doctor: The Messiah for New-Age Farmers

Abstract

bstract: Agriculture plays a major role in developing countries; however, food security remains a vital issue. Most crops get wasted due to a lack of storage facilities, transportation, and diseases. More than 15% of the crops get wasted in India due to diseases, hence it has become one of the major concerns to be resolved. There is a need for an automaticsystem that can identify these diseases and help farmers take appropriate steps to get rid of crop loss. Farmers have followedthe conventional method of identifying plant diseases with theirnaked eyes, and all farmers can't identify these diseases the sameway. With the advances in AI, there is a need to incorporate the facilities of computer vision in the field of agriculture. Deep Learning rich libraries and user as well as developer-friendly environment to work with, all these qualities make Deep Learning the favourable method to get started with this problem.
