Review On Normal and Affected Fruit Classification
Automatic identification and classification of fruit diseases based on their particular symptoms are very useful to farmers and also agriculture scientists. Farmers and scientist are more concerned about fruit safety and quality because India is the second largest producer of fruits. Color and texture feature classification is used for recognition of fruits and to classify whether they are normal and affected fruit images. Color , texture components are extracted from fruit images. The RGB color features and the texture features are reduced in affected fruits. The BPNN classifier can be used for classification to get the improved result. This technique is used in agriculture and horticulture fields.

Support vector machine with a firefly optimization algorithm for classification of apple fruit disease
Fruit diseases became one of the serious problems that the farmer faced because it could threaten their economic outcome. The main focus of this study is apples. Apple fruit is very susceptible to disease, in general diseases that usually attack the apple are blotch apple, rot apple, and scab apple. In this study, the author is classifying these three apple diseases and normal apples. Classification is a process that we can do manually by human power, which costs a lot of fortune, takes a long time, and it's also very vulnerable to false identification. This study takes advantage of computer vision technology and machine learning to overcome the classification problem. By using the SVM method and parameter FA optimization algorithm, we can get the highest result only in the first experiment and also with 94% accuracy
Bacterial foraging optimization based adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system
Life of human being and animals depend on the environment which is surrounded by plants. Like human beings, plants also suffer from lot of diseases. Plant gets affected by completely including leaf, stem, root, fruit and flower; this affects the normal growth of the plant. Manual identification and diagnosis of plant diseases is very difficult. This method is costly as well as time-consuming so it is inefficient to be highly specific. Plant pathology deals with the progress in developing classification of plant diseases and their identification. This work clarifies the identification of plant diseases using leaf images caused by bacteria, viruses and fungus. By this method it can be identified and control the diseases. To identify the plant leaf disease Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) was proposed. The proposed method shows more refined results than the existing works
Disease Identification in Crop Plants based on Convolutional Neural Networks
"The identification, classification and treatment of
crop plant diseases are essential for agricultural production.
Some of the most common diseases include root rot, powdery
mildew, mosaic, leaf spot and fruit rot. Machine learning (ML)
technology and convolutional neural networks (CNN) have
proven to be very useful in this field. This work aims to identify
and classify diseases in crop plants, from the data set obtained
from Plant Village, with images of diseased plant leaves and their
corresponding Tags, using CNN with transfer learning. For
processing, the dataset composing of more than 87 thousand
images, divided into 38 classes and 26 disease types, was used.
Three CNN models (DenseNet-201, ResNet-50 and Inception-v3)
were used to identify and classify the images. The results showed
that the DenseNet-201 and Inception-v3 models achieved an
accuracy of 98% in plant disease identification and classification,
slightly higher than the ResNet-50 model, which achieved an
accuracy of 97%, thus demonstrating an effective and promising
approach, being able to learn relevant features from the images
and classify them accurately. Overall, ML in conjunction with
CNNs proved to be an effective tool for identifying and
classifying diseases in crop plants. The CNN models used in this
work are a very good choice for this type of tasks, since they
proved to have a very high performance in classification tasks. In
terms of accuracy, all three models are very accurate in image
classification, with an accuracy of over 96% with large data sets

APPLE AND PEAR SCAB ONTOLOGY
An important issue in horticulture is ensuring plant disease, such as scab, prevention and treatment. Apple and pear are among the most widely grown (approximately 43% of all fruit tree area [1]) and economically important fruit crops specified worldwide and in Latvia. Scab diseases caused by ascomycetous fungi Venturia inaequalis and V.pyrina are economically the most important diseases worldwide. Research projects have produced research data covering various aspects of plant-pathogen interactions, but there is no internal linkage analysis, as well as implementation of other types of data (such as environmental and meteorological data, etc.). Establishing such a data integration system would allow the identification of new regularities in plant-pathogen interactions, and provide mechanisms for disease control decisions. Semantic analysis is one of information technology approaches to finding relationships in data. The product of analysis is ontology. There are plant disease ontologies which provide classification of diseases and describe their reasons. However, there is no ontology which describes a specific plant and relations among its farming parameters and disease probability. Such an ontology for apple and pear scab is presented in this paper. The constructed ontology can be applied to develop guidelines or digital expert systems.
Technological learning for innovating towards sustainable cultivation practices: the Vietnamese smallholder rose sector
Deregulation and globalisation has altered the views of public involvement in development and led to strategies focusing on private sector participation. An implicit assumption seems to be that these linkages will enhance the technological capacity of smallholder producers by way of more cost-efficient technologies trickling down through the value chain or by quality requirements inducing best practices. The argument put forward in this paper is that sustainable non traditional agricultural chain development requires more purposeful actions and institutional transitions, both in the public and private spheres, targeting improved upstream innovative capacities. Empirical findings from a Dutch-Vietnamese partnership on sustainable floriculture development are used. Research revealed that the pest and disease control solutions applied by smallholder rose growers were incremental adaptations of experiences obtained in former food crop cultivation practices. Floriculture however may require more drastic changes in cultivation practices to make the sector more environmentally benign. In the case of smallholder Vietnamese flower producers, this implies adaptation of knowledge and skills currently not present. An important hindrance in promoting this knowledge and skills appears to be the weak vertical linkages between flower growers and public and private research and development organizations
Use of images of leaves and fruits of apple trees for automatic identification of symptoms of diseases and nutritional disorders.
Rapid diagnosis ofsymptoms caused by pest attack, diseases and nutritional or physiological disorders in apple orchards is essential to avoid greater losses. This paper aimed to evaluate the efficiency of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to automatically detect and classify symptoms of diseases, nutritional deficiencies and damage caused by herbicides in apple trees from images of their leaves and fruits. A novel data set was developed containing labeled examples consisting of approximately 10,000 images of leaves and apple fruits divided into 12 classes, which were classified by algorithms of machine learning, with emphasis on models of deep learning. The resultsshowed trained CNNs can overcome the performance of experts and other algorithms of machine learning in the classification of symptoms in apple trees from leaves images, with an accuracy of 97.3% and obtain 91.1% accuracy with fruit images. In this way, the use of Convolutional Neural Networks may enable the diagnosis of symptoms in apple trees in a fast, precise and usual way.
