By the end of the 1980s, black leaf streak disease caused by Mycosphaerella fijiensis was present in all continents where bananas or plantains were grown, although distribution in some regions was limited to a few countries. In this presentation, the spread of the disease during the 1990s in several countries and regions, and the important socio-economic consequences are discussed. From 1990 to...

Leaf diseases’ influence the relationship between the yield and yield components of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Field experiments were conducted during 2003–2006 on a light loamy gleyic cambisoil in the central part of Lithuania to determine how leaf disease severity level affects grain yield and yield components. The area under disease progress curves (AUDPC), grain yield and yield co...

Mosaic, Rust, Brown spot, and Alternaria leaf spot are the four common types of apple leaf diseases. Early diagnosis and accurate identification of apple leaf diseases can control the spread of infection and ensure the healthy development of the apple industry. The existing research uses complex image preprocessing and cannot guarantee high recognition rates for apple leaf diseases. This paper ...

India is an agricultural country. Farmer has wide range of diversity to select suitable crops. However, cultivation of these crops for optimum yield and quality produce is highly technical by using technical support. Detection of plant disease is an essential research topic. Studies show that relying on pure naked-eye observation of expert to detect such diseases can be prohibitively expensive,...

Fungi-caused diseases in sugarcane are the most predominant diseases which appear as spots on the leaves. If not treated on time, causes the severe loss. Excessive use of pesticide for plant diseases treatment increases the cost and environmental pollution so their use must be minimized. This can be achieved by targeting the diseases places, with the appropriate quantity and concentration of pe...

Crop maintenance is one of the crucial factors that determine the quantity and quality of the agricultural products. Protecting crops from plant diseases is an important aspect that increases the profit of the farmer. This study aims at developing a computational model that will facilitate crop production by accurately identifying diseases that affect productivity of turmeric plants. The turmer...

In this research, identification and classification of cotton diseases is done. The pattern of disease is important part where some features like the colour of actual infected image are extracted from image. There are so many diseases occurred on cotton leaf so the leaf color is different for different diseases. This paper uses k-mean clustering with Discrete Wavelet Transform for efficient pla...
