This research presents an innovative approach utilizing the EfficientNet architecture for the early detection of potato late blight, a devastating disease threatening potato crops worldwide. The study aims to harness EfficientNet's capabilities for proactive disease monitoring, facilitating prompt interventions and minimizing crop losses. Through meticulous experimentation and model refinement, the proposed methodology achieves an accuracy rate of 98.07% on the test dataset, surpassing previous benchmarks. This accuracy underscores the efficacy of the EfficientNet model in identifying diseased plants, offering a promising tool for early disease detection in agricultural settings. Additionally, this study implemented and compared three other CNN architectures: VGGNet, ResNet, and InceptionNet. The comparative analysis, based on accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 Score, highlights EfficientNet's superior performance. EfficientNet's balanced scaling and parameter efficiency contribute to its high accuracy, while the other architectures demonstrated limitations due to higher parameter counts and architectural complexity. By advancing potato late blight detection, this research contributes to improved crop management practices, enhanced food security, and resilient agricultural systems. The comprehensive evaluation and comparison of these CNN architectures provide valuable insights for future research and practical applications in agricultural disease detection.
