This study introduces an innovative strategy for the early detection of plant diseases leveraging machine learning algorithms, a crucial step towards bolstering global food security. Despite the importance of early disease detection for mitigating crop losses, inadequate infrastructure often hinders swift and accurate identification. This paper addresses these challenges by utilizing the Random Forest algorithm to distinguish between healthy and diseased plant leaves using a specially curated dataset. Our proposed method involves comprehensive phases of dataset creation, feature extraction, classifier training, and subsequent classification. For the extraction of image features, the Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) technique is utilized, offering a robust method for image analysis. Embracing the capabilities of publicly accessible, large-scale datasets, our method provides a scalable solution to plant disease detection. The empirical results demonstrate promising levels of accuracy in disease monitoring, presenting transformative potential for disease management practices in agriculture. Particularly in resource-constrained settings, our machine learning approach paves the way for efficient and effective plant disease detection, carrying significant implications for future crop protection strategies.
