Agricultural Productivity Enhancement by Automated Crop Disease Detection and Control
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 9
Abstract
Agriculture is the backbone of our country. India is an agricultural country where the most of the population depends on agriculture. Research in agriculture is aimed towards increasing productivity and profit. There are several automated systems available in literature, which are developed for irrigation control and environmental monitoring in the field. However, it is essential to monitor the plant growth stage by stage and take decisions accordingly. In addition to monitoring the environmental parameters such as pH, moisture content and temperature, it is inevitable to identify the onset of plant diseases too. It is the key to prevent the losses in yield and quantity of agricultural product. Plant disease identification by continuous visual monitoring is very difficult task to farmers and at the same time it is less accurate and can be done in limited areas. Hence this projects aims at developing an image processing algorithm to identify the diseases in rice plant. Rice blast disease occurring in rice plant is due to magnaporthe grisea and this disease also occurs in wheat, rye, barley, pearl and millet. Due to rice blast disease, 60 million people are affected in 85 countries worldwide. Image processing technique is adopted as it is more accurate. Early disease detection can increase the crop production by inducing proper pesticide usage.
