Innovative Solutions for Agriculture: Sensor-Driven Soil Parameter Monitoring and Deep Learning in Potato Disease Detection
Main Article Content
Abstract
The primary obstacle facing modern agriculture is the lack of advanced technologies capable of efficiently and proactively identifying crop diseases, a gap that is most noticeable while the crop is at the key stem stage. Taking note of this difficulty, the suggested solution calls for the deliberate insertion of cutting-edge sensors at the root level straight into the soil. The objective of this integration is to offer a comprehensive and in-depth evaluation of crucial factors that are necessary for plant health, including temperature dynamics, moisture content, and nutrient levels of soil. While the temperature sensors serve a dual purpose by monitoring the external environment and evaluating the condition of mechanical assets vital to agricultural operations, the soil moisture and index sensors are essential for precisely determining irrigation needs and assessing soil nutrient levels. The project incorporates a cutting-edge Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) deep learning algorithm designed especially for the identification of potato leaf diseases, which represents a significant improvement to disease detection capabilities. This sophisticated algorithm improves the accuracy and efficiency of disease identification by using deep learning to analyze and comprehend complex patterns found in the leaf of the plant. This comprehensive initiative's main goal is to create a seamlessly integrated sensor system that can monitor crop health dynamically, provide real-time insights into critical soil characteristics, and use state-of-the-art CNN deep learning technology to detect potato leaf diseases in the agricultural landscape with extreme precision.
