Plant Disease Detection in Agriculture Automation

Plant disease detection is emerging field in India as agriculture is important sector in Economy and Social life. Earlier unscientific methods were in existence. Gradually with technical and scientific advancement, more reliable methods through lowest turnaround time are developed and proposed for early detection of plant disease. Such techniques are widely used and proved beneficial to farmers as detection of plant disease is possible with minimal time span and corrective actions are carried out at appropriate time. An automated system has been developedto determine whether the plant is normal or diseased. The normal growth of the plant, yields and quality of agricultural products is seriously affected by plant disease. This paper attempts to develop an automated system that detects the presence of disease in plants. This is developed using sensors like temperature, humidity, moisture based on variation in plant leaf health condition. The values based on temperature, humidity and color parameter are used to identify presence of plant disease.
