Abstract
Eggplant is an important horticultural crop whose productivity is often affected by various leaf diseases that reduce crop quality and yield. Manual identification of plant diseases relies heavily on human observation and experience, making it time-consuming and prone to misclassification, especially when symptoms appear visually similar. The system employed a convolutional neural network/transfer learning model to identify eggplant leaf diseases accurately and efficiently. The system utilizes a deep learning model trained on a dataset of 3,551 leaf images categorized into seven disease classes and one healthy class. Image preprocessing and augmentation techniques were applied to improve model performance and generalization. Experimental evaluation showed that the proposed model achieved a testing accuracy of approximately 82% with balanced precision and recall across all categories, indicating stable classification performance. The trained model was integrated into a web-based application that allows users to upload leaf images and obtain real-time diagnostic results along with recommended handling information. The findings demonstrate that the proposed system provides a practical and reliable solution for early disease detection and supports more efficient agricultural management. Future development may include expanding dataset diversity, improving model robustness, and deploying mobile-based applications to enhance accessibility and scalability in precision agriculture.
The proposed automated leaf disease detection system using image processing and deep learning techniques can detect leaf diseases effectively and efficiently, making it a useful and cost-effective solution for supporting farmers and agricultural experts in early disease diagnosis.

Plant leaf diseases significantly reduce agricultural productivity and crop yield worldwide, making early and accurate detection essential to prevent large-scale crop damage. Traditional disease identification methods rely on manual inspection by experts, which is time-consuming, costly, and often inaccessible to farmers in rural areas. This paper proposes an AI-based leaf disease detection system using deep learning and transfer learning, in which EfficientNetB5 serves as a pretrained feature extractor to classify 38 plant disease categories spanning 14 crop species. Preprocessing includes HSV-based leaf segmentation, resizing to 456×456 pixels, and EfficientNet-specific normalization. A compact two-layer dense classifier is trained on the 2,048-dimensional feature vectors produced by the frozen backbone. The system achieves an overall validation accuracy of 96.49%, macro-average precision of 0.97, recall of 0.96, and F1-score of 0.96 on 2,280 held-out images. Beyond classification, the system provides actionable cure and precautionary recommendations for every detected disease, making it directly useful to smallholder farmers. Comparative analysis with ResNet50, VGG16, and MobileNetV2 confirms that EfficientNetB5 achieves the highest accuracy with a favorable parameter-to-performance ratio. Multi-class ROC evaluation further demonstrates strong discriminative capability across all disease categories.

Early disease Classification will help reduce crop loss as well as increase agricultural productivity. A rapid and accurate deep learning-based framework to identify different diseases in eggplant on the marketplace level has been proposed in the research. Implementation and Training of an End-to-End Object Classification Based on YOLOv8. To train a custom multi-class data set, six target classes: Healthy Leaf, White Mold Disease, Leaf Spot Disease, Wilt Disease, Mosaic Virus Disease, and Insect Pest Disease. Initial work was done in developing the object detectors. We used standard metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score to evaluate the performance of the model. When it came to finding Plant Leaf Disease (PLD), traceable configurations were revealed from configuration tuning among the combinations of hyperparameters, which converged at equal measurement intervals on a curve between Classification accuracy and computation efficiency from screened candidate architectures along ranges determined by performance metrics defined for detecting plant diseases using only above-ground debris as input sources. With stable convergence during the training phase, the model YOLOv8m had an accuracy of 96.84%, a precision of 96.85%, a recall of 96.84%, and an F1 score of 96.84%. The model that has been trained was deployed with the help of a web application named Streamlit, so that it could be used in practical procedures where disease can be detected if we upload an image. That means the system is robust and operates effectively in the wild as opposed to ideal test conditions, which lends itself well to agricultural usage. The present work provides an integrated, optimized deep learning detector with a user interface beneficial for precision farming that can help in the early identification of diseases on eggplants, resulting in increased yield.
