Evaluating the Efficacy of Convolutional Neural Networks: Disease Detection in Crops

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Crop diseases pose a significant risk to agricultural productivity, particularly in sub‐Saharan Africa, where cassava (Manihot esculenta), plantain (Musa paradisiaca), and cocoa (Theobroma cacao) serve as essential crops. There is an urgent need for innovative plant disease detection methods to enhance control measures and preventive strategies to ...
