Abstract

A primary source of livelihood is agriculture. In developing country like India, wide-ranging employment opportunities are provided by Agriculture for the villagers. Various crops are included in the agricultural system of India and 70% of the population depends upon agriculture as reported by survey. Because of lagging in technical knowledge, manual cultivation is adopted by majority of the Indian farmers. The kind of crops that grows well on their land is unaware by the farmers. The agriculture production is affected by the heterogeneous diseases that affect the plant leaves and result in the productive loss. Moreover, the quality as well as quantity of the agricultural production is reduced by it. A key role is played by the leaves in the rapid growth of the plants and production of crops. The identification of diseases related to plant leaf is a difficult task for the farmers and for the researchers. At present, various pesticides were sprayed on the plants that directly or indirectly affect the human health and the economy. Various methods must be adopted for detecting these kinds of plant diseases. This paper presents a review of various plant diseases and several advanced technologies in detecting the diseases.
