Agriculture is the backbone of the economy of any country. Productivity of the crops depends on soil quality, proper irrigation and fertilizer, appropriate pesticide. Mostly pesticides were applied without having knowledge about the type of diseases or pests. Type and the quantity of pesticide for any depends on the disease category. If we could identify the appropriate disease, then applying appropriate pesticide will increase the yield of the crop. To address this issue, we propose a method to detect the diseases in tomato plants. We have designed a Convolutional Neural Network architecture that efficiently detects the disease of tomato plant. The system is evaluated with Plant Village benchmark dataset. Results show that our network is detecting the diseases with 90.86% accuracy. We have identified a suitable variant of Convolutional Neural Network that efficiently detects the disease of tomato plant.

As it is the seventh most-spoken language and fifth most-spoken native language in the world, the domain of Bengali handwritten character recognition has fascinated researchers for decades. Although other popular languages i.e., English, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, etc. have received many contributions in the area of handwritten character recognition, Bengali has not received many noteworthy contributions in this domain because of the complex curvatures and similar writing fashions of Bengali characters. Previously, studies were conducted by using different approaches based on traditional learning, and deep learning. In this research, we proposed a low-cost novel convolutional neural network architecture for the recognition of Bengali characters with only 2.24 to 2.43 million parameters based on the number of output classes. We considered 8 different formations of CMATERdb datasets based on previous studies for the training phase. With experimental analysis, we showed that our proposed system outperformed previous works by a noteworthy margin for all 8 datasets. Moreover, we tested our trained models on other available Bengali characters datasets such as Ekush, BanglaLekha, and NumtaDB datasets. Our proposed architecture achieved 96–99% overall accuracies for these datasets as well. We believe our contributions will be beneficial for developing an automated high-performance recognition tool for Bengali handwritten characters.
