Abstract: The Internet of Things can be defined as the network of physical objects that have sensors, software, and other technologies built into them in order to communicate and exchange data with other systems and devices over the internet. In intelligent agricultural advancements to increase the quality of agriculture, the Internet of Things (IoT) can be used. The manual monitoring of plant diseases is quite challenging. It demands enormous effort, expertise in the diseases of plants and the considerable time required for processing. The idea of automation in Smart Agriculture is implemented using the Internet of Things (IoT). They help monitor the plant leaf conditions, control water irrigation, gather images using installed IoT system which includes NodeMCU, cameras, soil moisture, temperature sensors and detect diseases in plants on the datasets collected from leaves. To detect plant diseases, image processing is applied. The detection of diseases comprises the acquisition of images, image pre-processing, segmenting an image, extracting and classifying features. In addition, the performance of two machine-learning techniques, such as a linear and polynomial kernel multi hidden extreme machine (MELM) and a support vector machine (SVM), has been studied. This paper discussed how plant diseases could be detected via images of their leaves. This analysis seeks to validate a proposed system for an ap-propriate solution to the IoT-based environmental surveillance, water irrigation system management and an efficient approach for leaf disease detection on plants. The proposed multi hidden layers extreme machine classification delivers good performance of 99.12% in the classification of leaf diseases in comparison to the Support Vector Machine classification, which gives 98%.
