Description
Wheat disease identification is essential for agricultural output and food security. Traditional diagnostic approaches are slow, ineffective, and need expert assistance, restricting their ability to grow in agriculture. Suggested innovative diagnostic method uses transfer learning on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to effectively identify and classify wheat leaf diseases. To increase model predictions, high-quality image datasets from open-access platforms are normalised, resized, and augmented. The proposed CNN model performed best with 98.90% accuracy, 98.87% precision, and 98.80% recall. Transfer learning improved model performance by recycling knowledge from pre-trained CNN architectures, reducing training time and enhancing feature extraction. The results show improved precision as well as strength over standard methods and before. This technology helps farmers and agricultural professionals make timely disease management and crop management decisions. To improve disease recognition, future study may use a wider dataset range and other CNN designs. 2025 IEEE.
