Real Time Identification of Crop Diseases, Pest Damage and Nutrient Deficiency System

Abstract

This report presents a survey on identification of different crop diseases using segmentation performed and the disease identified will be displayed on LCD, along with the essential fertilizers needed for the treatment of the disease. Once the disease is identified, there will be a mechanism for automatic sprinkling of fertilizers. The purpose of implementing such a system is to reduce the efforts of the farmers and to provide them with good yield in appropriate time. Farmers need not monitor the crops continuously. Moreover, manual monitoring of crops and their disease identification requires more time and expert supervision. The accuracy of the results obtained from expert supervision may not be reliable. In small villages, due to unavailability of experts, naked eye observation becomes costly as well as time consuming. So, analyzing these major drawbacks of naked eye observation, we have implemented a cost effective system which provides with accurate disease identification and their treatment in appropriate time.
