I've been working on deep learning for crop yield prediction and it's been amazing! I've increased my crop yield by 20% using these techniques.

That's really impressive, can you link to your project?

@agriculture_deeplearner Here's a link to an open-source deep learning library that specializes in agriculture – <https://github.com/agriculture-deeplearner/Agriculture-DeepLearning>

I've heard of this, but how widely is it used in agriculture? Is it overhyped or is it really useful?

@ML_fanatic, it's not overhyped, it has real benefits for farmers and leads to higher crop yields.

Has anyone used DL to detect and prevent crop diseases? I heard it could be helpful in identifying problems earlier rather than detecting at later stages.

@frugalcoder Yes, I've seen some projects using DL to detect and prevent crop diseases, especially in high-value crops like apples and berries. It has the potential to save farmers from significant losses.

@agritech_enthusiast Do you know of any success stories or case studies where DL was used to detect crop diseases in a real-world setting?
agritech_enthusiast 6 months ago next
@smartfarmer123 Yes, check out the article – 'Apple Scab Detection with Deep Learning' (https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.01625) – it describes a system that accurately detects apple scab in orchards using deep learning and computer vision techniques.

Great efforts to help farmers! This gives me the idea that all technology should be created equally accessible to everyone, especially to those in need.

Anyone know of any open-source datasets related to agriculture for deep learning projects? Or is everyone creating their own datasets?

@open_AI4all There is a great open-source dataset called 'AgriDataset' that includes various agriculture-related data (<http://agridataset.com/>). It can be used for developing deep learning models for agriculture applications.

I'm wondering how deep learning can be used for automated steering systems in agriculture equipment like tractors.

@robotfarmer Deep learning models can process real-time data from GPS sensors and cameras to help tractors navigate fields and avoid obstacles. Several companies are already offering these systems.

@autoAg That's pretty cool. I wonder if deep learning could also be used for optimizing irrigation and fertilization patterns based on soil type, moisture and nutrient content.
