Abstract

Early diagnosis of plant diseases is decisive in reducing crop losses. This study compares EfficientNet-B0, MobileNetV3 and ResNet-50 on images of tomato leaves in ten classes. In addition to laboratory images, 3,200 field images collected from greenhouses in Konya were used to test performance under real conditions. With data augmentation and domain adaptation, EfficientNet-B0 achieved 91.8% accuracy on field data. The model was integrated into a mobile application made available to farmers.
