Plant diseases pose a major challenge in the agricultural sector, which affects plant development and crop productivity. Sugarcane farming is a highly organized part of farming. Owing to the desirable condition for sugarcane cultivation, India stands among the second largest producers of sugarcane over the globe. At the same time, sugarcane gets easily affected by multifarious diseases which significantly influence crop productivity. The recently developed computer vision (CV) and deep learning (DL) models with an effective design can be employed for the detection and classification of diseases in sugarcane plant. The disease detection in sugarcane plant is not accurate in the existing techniques. This paper presents a quantum behaved particle swarm optimization based deep transfer learning (QBPSO-DTL) model for sugarcane leaf disease detection and classification which produces high accuracy. The proposed QBPSO-DTL method is designed and trained for the prediction of diseased leaf images. The proposed QBPSO-DTL technique encompasses the design of optimal region growing segmentation to determine the affected regions in the leaf image. In addition, the SqueezeNet model is employed as a feature extractor and the deep stacked autoencoder (DSAE) model is applied as a classification model. Finally, the hyperparameter tuning of the DSAE model is carried out by using the QBPSO algorithm. For demonstrating the enhanced outcomes of the QBPSO-DTL approach, a wide range of experiments were implemented and the results ensured the improvements of the QBPSO-DTL model.

Herbal treatments' efficacy, safety, and mild side effects are also high priorities in primary care. Furthermore, as the world's population expands, food production becomes more difficult. We need to use innovative biotechnology-based fertilization technologies to boost food production output. Gloriosa superba is one of the most well-known plants for its antibacterial and medicinal capabilities. The money plant is also known as the Gloriosa superba. We used a deep learning-based convolution neural network (CNN) classifier model to optimize the CNN algorithm parameter for better prediction. The enhanced particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique was used for optimization. Scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) was used to extract the fungal spotted area. Digital camera with a high resolution acquires 300 dataset photographs from different villages in India for this investigation. Using a real-time fungal-affected image to train and test the model, different parametric measures are used to assess the model's performance. The categorization accuracy obtained in this experiment was 99.32 percent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
