Abstract
Agricultural productivity and food security are heavily impacted by plant diseases, and thus there is a high demand for accurate and automated plant disease detection that can be achieved by applying deep learning techniques. This research proposes a Multi-Model Ensemble Method Based on Deep Learning for multi-plant disease detection using ResNet50 to improve classification performance across multiple crop varieties. The proposed framework takes five important categories of plants into consideration including tomato, potato, grape, apple and maize, and 10 classes of healthy and diseased plants are generated from the PlantSeg dataset. The Anaconda platform was used along with Python to create a development environment that allows data preprocessing, augmentation, training and testing to be implemented efficiently. The proposed ensemble framework combines the feature extraction power of ResNet50 with several deep learning classifiers so as to obtain a good identification performance at different resolutions and environments. The proposed model performance is tested with the following metrics Accuracy, Precision, Inference Time, and Resolution quality and compared with MobileNetV2, YOLOv8 and the baseline CNN models. Experimental results show that the proposed ensemble ResNet50 framework achieves an accuracy of 98.7% and precision of 98.3%, which is about 6.4%, 4.8%, and 9.2% higher than that of MobileNetV2, YOLOv8, and CNN respectively. Moreover, the proposed method achieves high resolution disease localization capability with an inference time improvement of almost 18% compared with YOLOv8. The proposed system greatly improves the detection accuracy of the early stage and the calculation speed of the system, which is very suitable for smart agriculture applications and real-time monitoring of the health status of crops.
The findings indicate that the combination of ResNet50 and Grad-CAM is effective for plant disease classification and provides better explainability for deep learning-based agricultural applications.

Background: Legumes, such as beans, are important in worldwide agriculture because of their nutritional value and soil-enriching qualities. However, bean crops are susceptible to diseases such as angular leaf spot and rust, which may reduce production and quality. Disease identification that is both effective and timely is essential to crop health and output. Traditional diagnostic approaches are often labor-intensive and susceptible to inaccuracy. Recent advances in deep learning (DL) provide interesting possibilities for automating disease categorization, possibly improving accuracy and efficiency. Methods: This study evaluates and compares the performance of two deep learning architectures, ResNet50 and VGG19, for the classification of bean leaf diseases. The dataset, sourced from Kaggle, comprises 1295 images categorized into three classes: Angular Leaf Spot, Rust and Healthy. Both systems relied on pre-trained ImageNet weights, with adjustments customized to the classification objective. The models were trained for 25 epochs and their performance was assessed based on overall accuracy. Result: The performance of the models is evaluated in terms of the confusion matrix, classification report and ROC(AUC) curves. The ResNet50 model achieved an overall accuracy of 93.75%, while the VGG19 model attained an accuracy of 91.41%. The findings indicate that ResNet50 performs better than VGG19 in terms of classification accuracy. This work demonstrates ResNet50’s performance for bean leaf disease classification tasks, providing important insights for future research and practical applications in agricultural disease control.
