Net blotch disease caused by Drechslera teres is a major fungal disease that affects barley ( Hordeum vulgare) plants and can result in significant crop losses. In this study, we developed a deep learning model to quantify net blotch disease symptoms on different days postinfection on seedling leaves using Cascade R-CNN (region-based convolutional neural network) and U-Net (a convolutional neural network) architectures. We used a dataset of barley leaf images with annotations of net blotch disease to train and evaluate the model. The model achieved an accuracy of 95% for Cascade R-CNN in net blotch disease detection and a Jaccard index score of 0.99, indicating high accuracy in disease quantification and location. The combination of Cascade R-CNN and U-Net architectures improved the detection of small and irregularly shaped lesions in the images at 4 days postinfection, leading to better disease quantification. To validate the model developed, we compared the results obtained by automated measurement with a classical method (necrosis diameter measurement) and a pathogen detection by real-time PCR. The proposed deep learning model could be used in automated systems for disease quantification and to screen the efficacy of potential biocontrol agents to protect against disease.
