The present invention relates to the field of plant health management system, and more particularly, the present invention relates to an IOT based plant disease identification and medicine prediction system.
BACKGROUND ART

[0002] The development of agriculture and forestry mainly depends on the quality and quantity of agricultural and forestry products. In the field of modern agriculture and forestry development, plant diseases and insect pests are serious biological disasters that affect agricultural and forestry production safety and ecological security, and are also one of the main factors that cause economic, social and environmental changes. Therefore, early detection and identification of the types of diseases and targeted measures can more effectively reduce the economic losses caused by the diseases to agricultural and forestry production. Preventive measures for various plant diseases (such as biological and chemical methods) will have a serious impact on the ecological environment.
[0003] The available system and method for detection and identification of the types of diseases and predicting their measures are not economical, accurate and time efficient. Further, the available systems are not user friendly as these systems take time to respond. Some of the systems are not effectively used for remote locations. Also, the available systems are provided with the wrong information, which may mislead the user.
[0004] Following are some of the attempts made to develop an IOT based plant management system for identifying the plant diseases and for predicting the plant diseases.
[0005] KR101830056B1 discloses a plant disease identification and medicine prediction system that relates to a disease diagnosis system and a disease diagnosis method using the same, and more particularly, to a disease diagnosis system capable of diagnosing a disease of a crop and a disease diagnosis method using the same. Agricultural farms such as Smart Pharm farms produce large amounts of various crops, and various biochemical changes can lead to various diseases on the rhizosphere or on the ground. However, if the discovery of the disease is delayed in a facility such as a smart farm, the disease may spread rapidly inside the facility. Therefore, in farming such as smart farm, it is necessary to judge and cope with the occurrence of the disease quickly.
[0006] CN113228047A discloses a detection of plant diseases with multi-stage, multi-scale deep learning that relates to the technical field of plant disease detection and machine learning. The invention also relates to the technical field of processing images at different scales to identify diseases with different sizes of symptoms.
[0007] CN113298150A discloses small sample plant disease identification method based on transfer learning and self-learning that relates to the technical field of artificial intelligence, and specifically is a method for identifying plant diseases with small samples based on migration learning and self-learning.
[0008] Although, there are a number of solutions in the form of plant management systems, none of them are specially designed with an accurate medicine prediction or diagnosis opinion. Although, some of the prior existing solutions attempt to create a reliable and economical plant management systems for identifying the plant diseases and for predicting the plant diseases, but this solution fails to meet the user’s requirement. In the view of above prior art, it can be understood that many Internets of Things plant management systems have been designed in an attempt to provide similar solution, however they are bulky, expensive, and inefficient.
[0009] In the light of foregoing, there is need for an IOT based plant health management system for identifying the plant diseases and for predicting the plant diseases that overcomes problems prevalent in the prior art.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION

[0010] The principal object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art by providing an IOT based plant health management system for identifying the plant diseases and for predicting the precautions.

[0012] Another object of the present invention is to provide an IOT based plant health management system, wherein the system generates an alert for a user.
[0013] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an IOT based plant health management system, wherein the system is energy efficient.
[0014] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an IOT based plant health management system, wherein the system recommends the medicine dosage for every plant separately.
[0015] Further object of the present invention is to provide an IOT based plant health management system, wherein the system is operated from a remote location.
[0016] The foregoing and other objects of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following detailed description of the embodiments as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

The cloud storage stores a predefined data of a plant diseases, precaution and a list of medicines. An authorized person is allowed to update the data stored in the cloud storage. The authorized person is a government or a official or an authenticated user.
[0035] The controller is a microcontroller or a microcomputer or a controller or a processor or a microprocessor. The controller is embedded with a hardware and a software module. The controller is connected to the electronic device, the cloud storage and the camera. The controller receives the video or the images captured therefrom the camera. The software module embedded with the controller matches the captured images with the predefined data in order to identify the disease. Upon identifying the disease, the software module embedded with the controller suggests a precaution in order to cure the disease. The precaution includes a required list of medicine, a list of suggestions, a schedule of dosage and a like.
[0036] The electronic device receives the precaution alert from the controller. The alert is an email or a text message or a call or an audio message or a video message.
