Potato Blight: scientists are using AI to prevent potato-related future famines

IIT Mandi&nbsp;team&nbsp;has developed an AI-based computational model&nbsp;for automated disease detection in&nbsp;potato&nbsp;crops to prevent future famines.&nbsp;

Potato is used in everything from curries and biryani&nbsp;to aloo parathas
Did you know of a devastating plant disease threatening potato crops?
Potato Blight: starts as light green lesions &amp; spreads into dark necrotic patches
It eventually leads to rotting of the plant &amp; can wipe away the entire crop
Detection of the disease is done manually in most countries, including India
IIT-Mandi researchers want to simplify the process with the use of AI
Develop AI tool for&nbsp;automated disease detection in&nbsp;potato&nbsp;crops
This may prevent&nbsp;financial catastrophe to the farmer &amp; economy: team
Team now working on a smartphone app to make the technology accessible

IIT Mandi&nbsp;team&nbsp;has developed an AI-based computational model&nbsp;for automated disease detection in&nbsp;potato&nbsp;crops to prevent future famines.

One of the most versatile vegetables &ndash; we eat potatoes&nbsp;in&nbsp;everything from curries&nbsp;to&nbsp;biryani&nbsp;or in the form of French fries&nbsp;or even&nbsp;aloo parathas.

But did you know that this beloved root vegetable is threatened by&nbsp;one of the most devastating plant diseases of any crop! Called Potato Blight,&nbsp;it&nbsp;is a common disease of the potato plant, that starts as uneven light green lesions on the&nbsp;plant&nbsp;and soon spreads into large brown to purplish-black necrotic patches that eventually lead to rotting of the plant and can wipe away the entire crop, if left undetected.
As of now, the&nbsp;detection and identification of blight is done manually in India and in most developing countries as well.&nbsp;Trained personnel scout the field and visually inspect&nbsp;the&nbsp;potato foliage. The process is tedious and impractical but researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi are trying to simplify the process with the&nbsp;use of artificial intelligence.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Working&nbsp;in collaboration with the Central Potato Research Institute in Shimla, the team has developed an AI-based computational model&nbsp;for automated disease detection in&nbsp;potato&nbsp;crops using photographs of its leaves.&nbsp;
Publishing in the journal&nbsp;Plant Phenomics,&nbsp;the team says their idea may help prevent financial catastrophe to the farmer and the country&rsquo;s economy.&nbsp;
To make their technology easier to use, the IIT Mandi team is now&nbsp;working&nbsp;on a smartphone app&nbsp;that will be accessible as part of the&nbsp;Department of Biotechnology&rsquo;s&nbsp;<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=plantvillage.farmerzone.cropadvisory&amp;hl=en_IN&amp;gl=US">FarmerZone&nbsp;Crop Advisory</a> app.&nbsp;
