Download or read book Crop Disease Recognition and Classification Using Deep Learning written by Nafees Akhter Farooqui and published by Mohammed Abdul Sattar. This book was released on 2023-07-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's largest agricultural need is high production; hence, most countries use modern techniques to boost crop yields. Advanced technology should increase yields. Other factors such as environmental stresses (pests, diseases, drought stress, nutritional deficits, and weeds) and pests affect plants at any stage. Thus, in agriculture, both quantity and quality are reduced. Crop diseases are the most important reason for quality and quantity losses in farming production. Such losses negatively affect the profit and production costs of stakeholders in farming. Conventionally, plant pathologists and farmers utilize their eyes to notice diseases and formulate decisions depending upon their knowledge that are often not precise and at times biased as in the earlier time a lot of types of diseases seems to be similar. This scheme paved the way for the needless usage of pesticides that resulted in high generation costs. Therefore, the requirement for a precise disease detector related to a consistent dataset to assist farmers is essential, particularly for the case of inexperienced and young ones . Advancements in computer vision help with the usage of ML or DL schemes. Moreover, there is a requirement for an earlier disease recognition system for protecting the yield over time. Accordingly, CNN is highly deployed in crop disease detection, and reasonable results are attained. Nevertheless, the crop disease images attained from lands were characteristically uncertain images that have a noteworthy effect on the enhancement of accuracy in crop disease recognition from images. There is a detrimental effect on agricultural output due to the prevalence of crop diseases, and increase food insecurity . The agricultural industry relies heavily on early identification of diseases, that prevention of crop diseases. Spots or scars on the leaves, stems, flowers, or fruits are common symptoms of crop diseases. Most of the time, anomalies can be diagnosed by looking for telltale signs that are specific to a given disease or pest. The leaves of crops are often the first to show signs of disease, making them an excellent starting point for diagnosis

Download or read book Multi risk Modeling for Improved Agriculture Decision support written by Weixun Lu and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The agriculture sectors in Canada are highly vulnerable to a wide range of inter-related weather risks linked to seasonal climate variability (e.g., El Ni ̃no Southern Oscillation(ENSO)), short-term extreme weather events (e.g., heatwaves), and emergent disease(e.g., grape powdery mildew). All of these weather-related risks can cause severe crop losses to agricultural crop yield and crop quality as Canada grows a wide range of farm products, and the changing weather conditions mainly drive farming practices. This dissertation presents three machine learning-based statistical models to assess the weather risks on the Canadian agriculture regions and to provide reliable risk forecasting to improve the decision-making of Canadian agricultural producers in farming practices. The first study presents a multi-scale, cluster-based Principal Component Analysis(PCA) approach to assess the potential seasonal impacts of ENSO to spring wheat and barley on agricultural census regions across the Canada prairies areas. Model prediction skills for annual wheat and barley yield have examined in multi-scale from spatial cluster approaches. The 'best' spatial models were used to define spatial patterns of ENSO forcing on wheat and barley yields. The model comparison of our spatial model to non-spatial models shows spatial clustering and ENSO forcing have increase model performance of prediction skills in forecasting future cereal crop production. The second study presents a copula-Bayesian network approach to assess the impact of extreme high-temperature events (heatwave events) on the developments of regional crops across the Canada agricultural regions at the eco-district-scale. Relevantweather variables and heatwave variables during heatwave periods have identified and used as input variables for model learning. Both a copula-Bayesian network and Gaussian-based network modeling approach is evaluated and inter-compared. The copula approach based on 'vine copulas' generated the most accurate predictions of heatwave occurrence as a driver of crop heat stress. The last study presents a stochastic, hybrid-Bayesian machine-learning approach to explore the complex causal relationships between weather, pathogen, and host for grape powdery mildew in an experimental farm in Quebec, Canada. This study explores a high-performance network model for daily disease risk forecast by using estimated development factors of pathogen and host from recorded daily weather variables. A fungicide strategy for disease control has presented by using the model outputs and forecasted future weather variability. The dissertation findings are beneficial to Canada's agricultural sector. The inter-related weather risks explored by the three separate studies in multi-scales provide a better understanding of the interactions between changing weather conditions, extreme weather, and crop production. The research showcases new insights, methods, and tools for minimizing risk in agricultural decision-making.
