Abstract

Corn, Rice, and Wheat serve as primary staple foods globally, playing a pivotal role in the economies of numerous countries. Despite their paramount importance, these cereal crops face susceptibility to various diseases, posing a significant threat to production. Timely and accurate disease diagnosis is imperative to mitigate these risks. In response, a range of Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) models have been devised to automate the identification of diseases impacting cereal crops. While DL excels with abundant data, traditional ML may outperform DL with limited data. This study proposes a hybrid model integrating deep transfer learning and ML techniques for identifying crop diseases. The model utilizes pre-trained DenseNet201 weights to extract features, which are subsequently fed into a Support Vector Machine (SVM) for identification. Experimental results show that the hybrid model outperforms several benchmark counterparts. The DenseNet201 deep feature combined with SVM exhibits superior performance, achieving an impressive accuracy score of 87.23% with just 20.2M parameters. The model underwent comprehensive performance assessment using precision, recall, F1 score, and overall accuracy metrics. It effectively classifies healthy and diseased categories for each crop, achieving accuracies of 99.82%, 98.75%, and 84.15% for Corn, Wheat, and Rice, respectively. Moreover, the model’s remarkable performance and lightweight nature make it a practical and efficient real-time crop disease detection solution, emphasizing its relevance and significance for farmers and researchers in the agricultural community.
