Abstract

Agriculture is an important sector for developing countries and farmers. Recently, numerous techniques for increasing agricultural productivity have been utilized. However, different issues are still encountered by farmers including various plant diseases. Plant diseases diagnoses are challenging research, and they should be analyzed and treated by detecting the diseased plant leaves. For that reason, in this paper, we develop our proposed architecture using convolutional neural networks (OP-CNN) as a computer-aided to detect and diagnose plant diseases. The proposed architecture can assist farmers in increasing both the quantity and quality of their agricultural productivity. Besides this, the OP-CNN helps to reduce disease prevalence through early detection. The performance of our proposed model is compared with other convolutional neural networks (CNN) architectures in order to validate its capability. The strawberry dataset was employed to train and test the models since the strawberry is one of the main crops in the Larache Province (Morocco). The experimental tests demonstrate that our proposed OP-CNN reaches the highest values versus DenseNet121, VGG19, and ResNet50 with 100%, 99%, 97%, and 63% respectively for classification accuracy, 100%, 100%, 98% and, 79% respectively for precision, 100%, 99%, 97%, and 63% respectively for recall, and 100%, 99%, 97%, and 58% respectively for "F" _1Score.

Abstract

The agriculture sector in the Tangier-Tetouan-Al-Hoceima-Region (Northern Morocco) contributes a significant percentage to the national revenue. The Larache Province is at the regional forefront in agriculture terms due to its large irrigated areas. Golden-Gogi is a biological farm located in the Larache Province, and its objective is to produce organic crops. Besides climate change, this farm suffers from biotic factors such as snails and insects. These problems cause diseases in plants, resulting in massive crop production losses. Early detection of disease and biotic factors in plants is a difficult task for farmers, but it is now possible thanks to artificial intelligence. For that reason, we aim to contribute to this Province by comparing the well-known models in machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) used in early plant disease detection to specify the best-classifier in terms of detecting mint plant diseases. Mint plant is a major crop on the Golden-Gogi farm, and its dataset was collected from there. As per findings, DL classifiers outperform ML classifiers in disease detection. The best-classifier is DenseNet201, with high accuracy of 94.12%. Hence, the system using DenseNet201 offers a solution for farmers of this Province in making urgent decisions to avoid mint yield losses.
