Revolutionizing tomato pest management: Synergy of Deep Learning, IoT, and Precision Agriculture
The increasing worldwide demand for agricultural goods, particularly tomatoes, underscores the need for effective pest control. Key pests such as Whiteflies, Fruit Fly, and Helicoverpa Armigera pose significant threats to tomato crops. This research proposes a novel approach by integrating modern technologies such as deep learning and the Internet of Things (IoT) to revolutionize traditional pest management methods. Using a portable Pest Counting Device equipped with the YOLOv8 deep learning model on a Raspberry Pi 4B, coupled with the Firebase IoT platform, facilita
