Details

This system uses artificial intelligence and image recognition to help farmers, gardeners, and agricultural workers identify powdery mildew — a fungal disease that reduces crop quality and yield. Users upload plant images through a web application, and the AI analyses them to flag potential disease and support management decisions. The system is currently in development at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and does not collect personal information.
