Detection of Powdery Mildew Disease of Beans in India : A Review

Abstract

Powdery mildew disease of beans in India causes major economic losses in agriculture. For sustainable agriculture detection and identification of diseases in plants is very important. In this review, we are trying to identify the powdery mildew disease of beans crop by using some image processing and pattern recognition techniques and comparing with molecular and spectroscopic techniques. Early information on crop health and disease detection can facilitate the control of diseases through proper management strategies. The present review recognizes the need for developing a rapid, cost-effective, and reliable health monitoring techniques that would facilitate advancements in agriculture. These technologies include image processing and pattern recognition based plant disease detection methods
