🌿 AI-Powered Plant Disease Detection System

Agriculture and Artificial Intelligence are coming together to solve real-world problems! In this project, I built a Plant Disease Detection System using Deep Learning (CNN) that can identify plant diseases from leaf images and provide actionable insights like treatment and fertilizer recommendations.


πŸ” What This Project Does

The workflow is simple and effective:

Upload a plant leaf image β†’ Get disease prediction β†’ Receive treatment guidance

This makes it highly useful for farmers, agricultural professionals, and even researchers looking for quick and reliable plant health analysis.


🎯 Key Features

  • πŸ” Real-time Disease Detection using Convolutional Neural Networks
  • 🎯 81–84% Accuracy across 38 plant disease classes
  • πŸ’Š Treatment & Prevention Recommendations tailored to predictions
  • πŸ“Š Prediction History Tracking with timestamps
  • πŸ“± Responsive Design (Desktop, Tablet, Mobile)
  • πŸš€ REST API Support for integration with mobile apps
  • πŸ” Security Focused (CSRF protection, file validation, input sanitization)

🌾 Supported Plants & Diseases

The model currently supports 38 disease classes across multiple crops:

  • πŸ… Tomato – 10 disease classes
  • πŸ₯” Potato – 3 disease classes
  • 🌽 Corn – 4 disease classes
  • 🌢️ Pepper – 2 disease classes
  • 🍎 Other crops also included

πŸ› οΈ Tech Stack

  • Backend: Django
  • Machine Learning: TensorFlow, CNN
  • Languages: Python
  • Frontend: HTML, CSS
  • API: RESTful services

🎯 Goal of This Project

The main goal is to empower farmers with AI-driven tools that can:

  • Improve crop health
  • Reduce agricultural losses
  • Provide quick decision support
  • Promote smart farming practices
