摘要

Plant leaf diseases must be detected and treated early to improve crop yield and reduce agricultural losses. However, pixel-level representations and the inability to be read limit the applicability of existing deep learning approaches to the agricultural sector. A graph neural network termed the Attention-Enhanced Graph Neural Network (AE-GNN) may explain and diagnose multi-plant leaf disease. The proposed framework models leaf pictures as a graph with nodes representing discriminative leaf areas and edges representing their spatial connection. Before creating the global context vector and classification, graph features are aggregated, and an attention weighting method is applied to refocus on disease-relevant nodes obscured by less informative background characteristics. Final disease prediction uses a multilayer perceptron classifier. A curated dataset of half-spinach and curry leaf pictures is used to assess the proposed method for fifteen illnesses and their healthy classifications. Grad-CAM-based explainable AI methods make the model predictions’ most important areas clearer. The dataset and source code from this work are available on GitHub for reproducibility and openness. Experimental results reveal that the proposed AE-GNN outperforms convolutional neural networks and graph-based models in classification. Graph-structured learning, attention enhancement, and explainability create a robust and interpretable framework for multi-plant leaf disease diagnosis.
