Recognition of Marijuana Plant Leaf Diseases Based on Deep Learning

Abstract

Plant pests and diseases are a common problem in agricultural production, and if not handled properly, they can seriously affect crop yield and quality. The era of the Internet of Things has arrived, and modern monitoring methods have also been applied to the growth monitoring of some crops, achieving good results. However, the cultivation of marijuana still relies mainly on traditional manual monitoring and modern methods have not yet been widely used. At the same time, the prevention of diseases and pests in marijuana is the focus, and if problems are not detected early, the losses can often be severe. This article proposes using machine learning to screen for abnormal leaves and confirm whether the leaves are healthy. After repeated training, the system can compare and classify different images of marijuana leaves and identify abnormal parts. The system is designed based on Python. The test results indicate that this technology can be applied to distinguish marijuana leaves to ensure early detection of diseases and pests, and to minimize agricultural losses caused by untimely remedial measures.
