Abstract


Agriculture serves as the backbone of India's economy, providing employment opportunities for a significant portion of the population. However, the sector faces challenges such as manual cultivation practices and limited technical knowledge among farmers, leading to suboptimal crop yields. Additionally, the prevalence of heterogeneous diseases affecting plant leaves contributes to reduced agricultural productivity and economic losses. Current approaches relying on indiscriminate pesticide use pose risks to human health and the environment. Therefore, there is an urgent need to adopt advanced techniques for the early detection of plant diseases to ensure sustainable agricultural practices. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of various plant diseases affecting crops in India and explores advanced techniques for their detection, emphasizing the importance of timely intervention to mitigate losses and improve crop yields. The adoption of innovative disease detection methods holds the potential to revolutionize agricultural practices, promoting both economic prosperity and environmental sustainability.
