Abstract

Pest and disease control is crucial in maintaining the quality and productivity of Lakatan bananas. But conventional pest and disease monitoring approaches are inefficient and may delay the detection of pests and diseases. To overcome this problem, we built a farm control system, the Pest and Disease Monitoring System for Banana Lakatan Farming using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm. This system employs a camera to take a photo of the banana leaves, then the CNN model classifies the image to determine the presence of pests and diseases. If a pest or disease is detected, the system automatically turns on a pump to apply the correct chemical to treat the fruit. It also includes an ultrasonic sensor to detect the level of chemicals in the tank and a voltage sensor to detect the power system and the battery. Users can also monitor and analyses the data obtained. In summary, the system offers an efficient and automated approach to pest and disease control for Lakatan banana farming, which saves farmers' time and help them increase their fruit yield with the timely detection and response.
