description Abstract Efficient prediction of citrus fruit diseases is essential for maintaining orchard health and productivity. Traditional diagnostic methods, often relying on manual inspection, are labor-intensive and prone to inaccuracies. Deep learning techniques, especially Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), offer an automated and accurate alternative. This study introduces a novel model integrating CNN with Gradient Boosting (GB) and optimized using the Nesterov-Accelerated Adaptive Moment Estimation (Nadam) optimizer to enhance prediction accuracy. The model employs a custom CNN architecture combined with GB, leveraging Nadam for faster convergence and improved performance. Trained on a dataset of 3,000 citrus fruit images sourced from Kaggle, the model follows a structured process of preprocessing, feature extraction, integration of GB with CNN, and optimal prediction. Comparative analysis using metrics such as accuracy, precision, F1 score, and recall demonstrates the model's effectiveness, achieving an accuracy of 98.03% and precision of 98.04%. This robust approach addresses limitations of traditional methods by enabling automated feature extraction and reliable disease prediction. The proposed CNN-GB-Nadam model significantly enhances efficiency and reliability, providing a valuable tool for protecting citrus fruit health and improving orchard management practices.
