This study addresses the challenges of elaeagnus angustifolia disease detection in smart agriculture by developing a detection system that integrates advanced deep learning technologies, including Large Language Models (LLMs), Agricultural Knowledge Graphs (KGs), Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), representation learning, and neural-symbolic reasoning techniques. The system significantly enhances the accuracy and efficiency of disease detection through an innovative graph attention mechanism and optimized loss functions. Experimental results demonstrate that this system significantly outperforms traditional methods across key metrics such as precision, recall, and accuracy, with the graph attention mechanism excelling in all aspects, particularly achieving a precision of 0.94, a recall of 0.92, and an accuracy of 0.93. Furthermore, comparative experiments with various loss functions further validate the effectiveness of the graph attention loss mechanism in enhancing model performance. This research not only advances the application of deep learning in agricultural disease detection theoretically but also provides robust technological tools for disease management and decision support in actual agricultural production, showcasing broad application prospects and profound practical value.

In this study, an advanced method for apricot tree disease detection is proposed that integrates deep learning technologies with various data augmentation strategies to significantly enhance the accuracy and efficiency of disease detection. A comprehensive framework based on the adaptive sampling latent variable network (ASLVN) and the spatial state attention mechanism was developed with the aim of enhancing the model’s capability to capture characteristics of apricot tree diseases while ensuring its applicability on edge devices through model lightweighting techniques. Experimental results demonstrated significant improvements in precision, recall, accuracy, and mean average precision (mAP). Specifically, precision was 0.92, recall was 0.89, accuracy was 0.90, and mAP was 0.91, surpassing traditional models such as YOLOv5, YOLOv8, RetinaNet, EfficientDet, and DEtection TRansformer (DETR). Furthermore, through ablation studies, the critical roles of ASLVN and the spatial state attention mechanism in enhancing detection performance were validated. These experiments not only showcased the contributions of each component for improving model performance but also highlighted the method’s capability to address the challenges of apricot tree disease detection in complex environments. Eight types of apricot tree diseases were detected, including Powdery Mildew and Brown Rot, representing a technological breakthrough. The findings provide robust technical support for disease management in actual agricultural production and offer broad application prospects.

In this study, a novel approach integrating multimodal data processing and attention aggregation techniques is proposed for pear tree disease detection. The focus of the research is to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of disease detection by fusing data from diverse sources, including images and environmental sensors. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms in key performance metrics such as precision, recall, accuracy, and F1-Score. Specifically, the model was tested on the Kaggle dataset and compared with existing advanced models such as RetinaNet, EfficientDet, Detection Transformer (DETR), and the You Only Look Once (YOLO) series. The experimental outcomes indicate that the proposed model achieves a precision of 0.93, a recall of 0.90, an accuracy of 0.92, and an F1-Score of 0.91, surpassing those of the comparative models. Additionally, detailed ablation experiments were conducted on the multimodal weighting module and the dynamic regression loss function to verify their specific contributions to the model performance. These experiments not only validated the effectiveness of the proposed method but also demonstrate its potential application in pear tree disease detection. Through this research, an effective technological solution is provided for the agricultural disease detection domain, offering substantial practical value and broad application prospects.

This paper developed a radish disease detection system based on a hybrid attention mechanism, significantly enhancing the precision and real-time performance in identifying disease characteristics. By integrating spatial and channel attentions, this system demonstrated superior performance across numerous metrics, particularly achieving 93% precision and 91% accuracy in detecting radish virus disease, outperforming existing technologies. Additionally, the introduction of the hybrid attention mechanism proved its superiority in ablation experiments, showing higher performance compared to standard self-attention and the convolutional block attention module. The study also introduced a hybrid loss function that combines cross-entropy loss and Dice loss, effectively addressing the issue of class imbalance and further enhancing the detection capability for rare diseases. These experimental results not only validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, but also provide robust technical support for the rapid and accurate detection of radish diseases, demonstrating its vast potential in agricultural applications. Future research will continue to optimize the model structure and computational efficiency to accommodate a broader range of agricultural disease detection needs.
