<![CDATA[The fig plant, known as Ficus carica, has been cultivated worldwide, including in Indonesia. It has nutritional benefits and medicinal properties. However, there are still difficulties in growing it, making the plant scarce. The scarcity of fig plants in Indonesia is mainly due to the threat of diseases and viruses that affect them. Various diseases affect fig plants, including leaf rust (Cerotelium fici), mosaic disease, and Bemisia tabaci (whitefly) disease. Infected fig plants become unhealthy, experiencing stunted growth and deformed fruits; thus, it is necessary to identify the diseases accurately using technological assistance. This research aimed to identify diseases in fig leaves automatically. The method began by digitizing fig leaf images and consulting botanical experts specializing in fig plants to determine the types of diseases present. The research produced a dataset of fig leaf images consisting of four classes of fig leaves: Cerotelium fici, mosaic disease, whitefly, and healthy fig leaves. The dataset resulted in the confirmation of 300 fig leaf images. The augmentation techniques were applied to increase the number of images to 3,300 fig leaf images. This dataset was then divided into subsets for training, validation, and testing. For the classification and identification, a Deep Learning approach was used with three models: VGG16, VGG19, and MobileNet. Among these models, MobileNet achieved the highest accuracy of 98.79%. Subsequently, the identification system was implemented by converting the generated model into TensorFlow Lite and integrating it into the Android Studio software, enabling it to function as a mobile application on Android devices.]]>
