Fruit disease forecast

What it does

Predict, Protect, Prosper: This web app is built to forecast plant diseases by analyzing weather conditions, enabling growers to take timely action and safeguard their crops.

Studies published in Nature and other scientific journals reveal that growers worldwide lose an average of 10 to 23 percent of their crops annually to fungal infections, despite the extensive use of fungicides.

Our goal with this tool is to predict upcoming fruit diseases and assist farmers in their defense strategies. To build this tool, we compiled a comprehensive Fruit Disease Names dataset, targeting common diseases in apples, apricots, cherries, grapes, peaches, and pears. Utilizing Google AI Studio with Gemini 1.5, we generated detailed disease parameters, which were stored in a Fruit Disease Dataset. This dataset forms the backbone of the app's predictive capabilities.

To start using the app, you'll need your own OpenWeather API key, which you can obtain for free by registering at OpenWeatherMap. With this key, our app can retrieve real-time weather data specific to your location, analyze the conditions, and forecast potential fruit diseases based on the generated disease dataset. This empowers farmers to proactively manage crop health, optimize yields, and minimize losses.
