description | Citrus farming is one of the major agricultural sectors of Pakistan and currently represents almost 30% of total fruit production, with its highest concentration in Punjab. Although economically important, citrus crops like sweet orange, grapefruit, lemon, and mandarins face various diseases like canker, scab, and black spot, which lower fruit quality and yield. Traditional manual disease diagnosis is not only slow, less accurate, and expensive but also relies heavily on expert intervention. To address these issues, this research examines the implementation of an automated disease classification system using deep learning and optimal feature selection. The system incorporates data augmentation and transfer learning with pre-trained models such as DenseNet-201 and AlexNet to improve diagnostic accuracy, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Experimental results on a citrus leaves dataset show an impressive 99.6% classification accuracy. The proposed framework outperforms existing methods, offering a robust and scalable solution for disease detection in citrus farming, contributing to more sustainable agricultural practices. |
