Abstract
Corn crop disease detection is crucial in ensuring crop health and optimizing agricultural productivity. This study explores the implementation of the YOLOv8 algorithm for efficient and accurate disease detection in corn crops. The research focuses on detecting diseases such as blight, common rust, and gray leaf spot, significantly impacting crop yield and quality. The YOLOv8 model trains using a carefully annotated dataset of corn leaf images, encompassing both diseaseinfected samples and healthy leaves. The model performance is evaluated using a separate test set, and promising outcomes are observed, with high mean Average Precision (mAP) values achieved across different disease categories. Notably, the model demonstrates exceptional accuracy in recognizing healthy corn plants, with an mAP of 0.99 for the healthy class. These results indicate the potential of YOLOv8 as an effective tool for early disease detection and precise interventions in smart agricultural farming. The findings of this study contribute to the advancement of automated disease detection systems in agriculture, paving the way for improved crop management practices and optimized yields in corn farming.
