Abstract
  • This paper presents the efforts of researchers in studying new problems and developing issues related to plant disease detection. Including a literature review to determine the apparent difficulties and challenges around how to identify symptoms of plant diseases for early detection and prevention, as well as recommendations for future study. The papers carefully investigated to develop a general map for research on this emerging topic. Researchers have followed the trend of plant disease detection applications while leaving certain aspects for further attention. Regardless of their categorization, the article focuses on several challenges that hinder the full utility of plant disease detection applications, as well as recommend mitigation techniques. Research on the detection of active plant diseases widely varies. This review of previous studies will make an understanding of the challenges and gaps available to other researchers to join this research pathway.
