Abstract - This proposed study analyses the critical problem of early and reliable detection of plant diseases via the development and evaluation of machine learning algorithms. Prompt detection is essential for reducing the impact of plant diseases on agricultural productivity and food security. The research study uses an extensive collection of high-quality photos showing both healthy and diseased plants, along with supplementary information about environmental conditions and disease indicators. The primary findings indicate that the used machine learning models significantly enhance the speed and precision of disease identification relative to traditional approaches. The algorithms achieved an overall classification accuracy over 90%, demonstrating their efficacy in practical agricultural applications. The suggested results have significance for healthcare, since the methodologies used to detect plant illnesses may be modified for the diagnosis of human infectious diseases, illustrating their extensive applicability. This study demonstrates that the use of machine learning in agriculture may enhance disease management and contribute to the establishment of sustainable food production systems, essential for global food security in the face of escalating environmental challenges. This study enhances early disease detection techniques, opening the way for future breakthroughs in agriculture and healthcare, therefore fostering a more robust and adaptable response to diseases affecting both plants and humans.
