Abstract Diseases in guava fruit such as Anthracnose and fruit fly attacks can drastically reduce crop quality. Manual identification is often subjective and slow. This research proposes a hybrid model combining Deep Learning architecture DenseNet121 as a feature extractor and Support Vector Machine (SVM) as a classifier. The dataset used is the "Guava Disease Dataset" which has been augmented into 3,784 images. The results showed that the hybrid DenseNet-SVM model with a linear kernel achieved the highest testing accuracy of 99.62%. This proves that combining deep feature extraction with an optimal margin classifier is highly effective for plant disease detection.
