Abstract

The prompt detection of plant diseases mitigates adverse effects on plants. Convolutional neural networks (CNN) and intense learning are extensively utilized in computer vision and recognition of pattern tasks. Scientists presented several DL algorithms for the detection of plant illnesses. Deep learning (DL) models need many parameters, resulting in extended training durations and complicated implementation on compact devices. This research presents a unique DL model utilizing the inception tier and residual connections. Depthwise differentiated convolution is employed to decrease the variable count. The suggested model has undergone training and evaluation using three distinct plant disease databases. The level of accuracy achieved on the PlantVillage database is 97.2%, on the rice disease database is 98.4%, and on the cassava database is 96.3%. The suggested model attains superior accuracy relative to state-of-the-art DL methods while utilizing fewer variables.
