IIT Mandi shows how to detect potato crop disease using photos of its leaves

IIT Mandi researchers have found a way to detect potato crop disease using photos of its leaves.

IIT Mandi researchers have developed a computational model for automated disease detection in potato crops using photographs of its leaves. The research led by Dr. Srikant Srinivasan, Associate Professor, School of Computing and Electrical Engineering, IIT Mandi, in collaboration with the Central Potato Research Institute, Shimla, uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to highlight the diseased portions of the leaf.
