disease.
Chemical
pesticides
are
commonly used to cure the diseases. But,
excessive use of pesticides for plant
disease treatment increases costs and raises
the danger of toxic residue levels on
agricultural products. As pesticides are
among the highest components in the
production costs of field crops and have
been identified as a major contributor to
groundwater contamination; their use must
be minimized. This requires that the
disease must be identified accurately along
with the stage in which the disease is; so
that only a proper quantity of pesticide can
be used for the treatment rather than
blindly spraying.
Presently, the plant pathologists
rely on disease scoring scale to grade the
disease. This is shown in Table 1.
Table I: Disease Scoring Scale for Leaves
Percent Infection
Disease Grade
0
0
Up to 1
1
1 10
2
10 20
3
20 40
4
40 100
5
From the table 1, it is observed that the
grade of the disease is assigned based on
the percent-infection i.e., if the infection
percent is about 5 then the grade is 2. The
problem here is that even if the percentinfection is 2 or 9 the grade remains 2
only.
Presently, percent-infection is
calculated based on grid paper analysis.
This method is time consuming and
burden of repetitive tasks. Since human
intervention is involved, it is prone to
errors also.
Hence, now the time has come to
overcome these problems. This can be
achieved by inculcating machine vision
into the agriculture to get the accurate
grade of the disease. With this motto the
present paper proposes an automatic and
accurate disease grading system for plant
