摘要

Plant diseases significantly threaten global food security and economic stability by reducing crop yields, increasing production costs, and exacerbating food shortages. Early and precise detection of plant diseases is essential for mitigating these risks. This study introduces a lightweight deep learning model for early and efficient disease detection in key vegetable crops, including eggplant, potato, tomato, and soybean. The model leverages a comprehensive dataset containing 23 classes of healthy and diseased plant images. With only 388,055 parameters and a model size of 1.48 MB, it achieves an impressive accuracy of 92.75%, outperforming 17 state-of-the-art deep learning models in terms of performance, efficiency, and size. The novelty lies in the model’s compact architecture, making it highly suitable for deployment in resource-constrained environments such as mobile and edge devices. The primary objective is to provide a scalable and cost-effective solution for early disease detection to enhance agricultural productivity. The findings underscore the model’s superiority over traditional methods and emphasize its potential for real-world applications in smart and sustainable agriculture systems.
