Abstract

The swift development of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) methods has played an important role in changing the practice of agriculture especially in the context of early detection and identification of crop diseases. Timely and correct diagnosis of diseases is essential in the minimization of crop yield losses, pesticide applications and ensuring food security. The proposed paper includes a full literature review of recent papers applying the ML and DL methodologies to crop disease detection, with a particular focus on ginger disease detection. The systematic evaluation identifies several main research problems, such as the scarcity of data sets and standard benchmarks, the inability to generalize models to new environments, the inability to deploy models in real time and the inability to integrate them with IoT systems. The review summarizes the available results, compares various methodological strategies and also suggests a conceptual framework to combine the hybrid ML-DL models with IoT-driven monitoring to generate scalable, precise, and real-time agricultural applications. The presented insights will help guide researchers and practitioners to design the next generation of intelligent farming solutions.
