Potato production in Indonesia has grown very rapidly, making Indonesia the largest potato producer in Southeast Asia. However, there are challenges for farmers in growing potatoes. Such as treating potatoes for various diseases. 2 diseases will occur in potato plants if not treated quickly, namely early blight disease caused by the fungus Alternaria solani and late blight disease caused by the microorganism Phytophthora infestans. The project "Potato Plant Leaf Disease Detector (MR-PoLod)" aims to design an android application that can classify leaves on potato plants into 3 classifications, namely healthy, early, and late blight disease. This application uses the CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) Machine Learning Algorithm because currently, CNN is recognized as the most efficient and effective model in pattern and image recognition tasks. This application uses the Python programming language which is rich in library and framework availability so that it can meet the needs of machine learning and image classification tasks. The total data used for training data, data validation and data testing is 3165 images. With each division of the data process on the training data of 70%, validation of 15% testing of 15% to test the effectiveness of the model that has been created. The performance of MR-PoLod for each class, obtained a precision value, recall, and f1-score of 0.99. Likewise, the accuracy value achieved by the model is 0.99 or 99%. Thus, the expected application can facilitate farmers in classifying diseases on potato plant leaves.
