Maize is known as one of the healthiest diets in the world, but its productivity is critically harmed by various diseases, with blight, common rust, and gray leaf spot being the most common. Early and accurate detection of these diseases is challenging. We have developed a CNN-based Sequential Model for disease classification, which aids farmers in applying appropriate treatments. Although maize is a vital global staple, its productivity is often threatened by viral leaf diseases, leading to substantial yield losses. Timely and accurate detection of these diseases is essential for effective crop management. This study introduces a deep neural network (DNN) designed to identify maize leaf diseases—specifically Blight, Gray Leaf Spot, and Common Rust—by extracting complex image features. An attention mechanism helps the model focus on critical image areas, enhancing interpretability and robustness. Validation experiments demonstrate the model's efficiency, confirming its potential as a reliable tool for precision agriculture.
