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.
India is one of the biggest producers and exporters of mangoes in the world, yet its cultivation is persistently threatened diseases that reduce yield, fruit quality, and orchard longevity. Traditional disease diagnosis is based on agronomists' hand visual inspection, which is a laborious, subjective, and challenging technique to scale across vast plantations. This research provides a hybrid deep learning system that incorporates AlexNet and ResNet-50 for the automated classification of five commercially relevant mango leaf diseases: Bacterial Canker, Anthracnose, Powdery Mildew, Sooty Mould and Healthy foliage. Through a fused, jointly trained classification head, the suggested architecture combines the deep, residual feature hierarchies of ResNet-50 with the shallow, texture-sensitive representations learned by AlexNet, enabling the network to take advantage of complementary visual cues that neither backbone fully captures on its own. The hybrid model was implemented and trained using MATLAB. The trained model achieved a validation accuracy of 99.47%. Comparative analysis against standalone AlexNet, standalone ResNet-50, and other architectures reported in the recent mango plant-disease literature indicates that the hybrid fusion strategy offers a favourable balance of accuracy and convergence stability.
The results demonstrate that the combination of DenseNet201 and Soft Voting provides an accurate and effective approach for rice leaf disease classification and has strong potential as an early disease detection tool in agriculture.
