🌿 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.


šŸ” What This Project Does

The workflow is simple and effective:

Upload a plant leaf image → Get disease prediction → Receive treatment guidance

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


šŸŽÆ Key Features

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

🌾 Supported Plants & Diseases

The model currently supports 38 disease classes across multiple crops:

  • šŸ… Tomato – 10 disease classes
  • šŸ„” Potato – 3 disease classes
  • 🌽 Corn – 4 disease classes
  • šŸŒ¶ļø Pepper – 2 disease classes
  • šŸŽ Other crops also included

šŸ› ļø Tech Stack

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

šŸŽÆ 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
