Flower disease detection is a significant challenge in modern agriculture, particularly with factors such as changes in leaf color, petal shape and structure, and environmental conditions affecting the accuracy of conventional models. These factors make it difficult to achieve optimal results using traditional methods. Transfer learning is an effective solution to improve image detection performance, especially when data is limited. This study used several pre-trained models, namely VGG16, ResNet50, and EfficientNet-B0, to detect three types of flower diseases: black spot on roses, white powdery mildew, and leaf rust. The research process included data processing, increasing the data volume using augmentation techniques, model training, and evaluation of the results. Experimental results showed that the EfficientNet-B0 model produced the highest accuracy of 97.2%, significantly better than the CNN model built from scratch with an accuracy of 85.1%. This study demonstrates that transfer learning is highly effective in improving the accuracy of flower disease detection, making it a more reliable alternative to methods that do not utilize pre-trained models, especially for agricultural applications that require high levels of accuracy in disease detection.
