Challenge AFI 03
Early Disease Detection in Fruit Plants Using Deep Learning

Pakistan’s economy mainly depends on agriculture where 25% of the gross domestic product mainly depends on it. Around 60 to 70% population of rural areas is dependent on agriculture. In the coming years, agriculture will continue to be the most important factor in our country’s economy. Traditional techniques are used to monitor crop fields, which is time and resource-consuming. The problem for farmers is to early detect the disease that affects crop production and sometimes damages a large section of the field.

The Challenge:

Optimize crop production, using technology together with traditional methods to enhance farm monitoring.
