Abstract

Deep Learning (DL) has revolutionized crop management practices, with disease detection and classification gaining prominence due to their impact on crop health and productivity. Addressing the limitations of traditional methods, such as reliance on handcrafted features, sensitivity to small datasets, limited adaptability, and scalability issues, deep learning enables accurate disease detection, real-time monitoring, and precision agriculture practices. Its ability to analyze and extract features from images, handle multimodal data, and adapt to new data patterns paves the way for a more sustainable and productive agricultural future. This study evaluates six pre-trained deep-learning models designed for stage-wise classification of white-scale date palm disease (WSD). The study assesses key metrics such as accuracy, sensitivity to training data volume, and inference time to identify the most effective model for accurate WSD stage-wise classification. For model development and assessment, we employed a dataset of 1,091 colored date palm leaflet images categorized into four distinct classes: healthy, low infestation degree, medium infestation degree, and high infestation degree. The results reveal the MobileNet model as the top performer, demonstrating superior accuracy and inference time compared to the other models and state of the art methods. The MobileNet model achieves high classification accuracy with only 60% of the training data. By harnessing the power of deep learning, this study enhances disease management practices in date palm agriculture, fostering improved crop yield, reduced losses, and sustainable food production.
