Fruit and vegetable crops are highly susceptible to diseases that can dramatically cut yields and cost growers dearly. Infections may appear at any growth stage and spread fast, so constant, accurate monitoring is critical—but manually identifying each pest or disease is slow and error‑prone.

This pretrained deep‑learning model automates the task. Trained mainly on images of healthy and diseased leaves, it can quickly classify multiple disease categories (or confirm healthy plants), giving farmers the timely insight they need to apply targeted pest‑control measures before damage becomes irreversible.
