    Abstract
    The study on deep learning models for crop diseases and pest classification looked at how these models may enhance agricultural practices, specifically for the purpose of more precise pest and crop disease classification. The research brought attention to the fact that agricultural diseases and pests pose a threat to global food security and that farmers need innovative solutions, like deep learning models, to combat these issues. The accuracy of the classification was tested using DenseNet and other deep learning models trained using secondary datasets sourced from the Kaggle website. The study compared DenseNet against many other models using a comprehensive evaluation technique. These models were AlexNet, EfficientNet, Visual Geometry Group, and Convolution Neural Network. In comparison to the other models, DenseNet achieved an outstanding accuracy score of 96.988% on the maize disease dataset and 96.9382% on the pests dataset. Due to DenseNet's enhanced performance, which was brought about by its ability to efficiently gather complex features and patterns within the visual input, resulted in more precise predictions. The study discussed the consequences of DenseNet's high accuracy, suggesting that its complex architecture made it ideal for pest and crop disease classification in agriculture. Also, the researcher looked at the possibility of integrating DenseNet into real-world agricultural systems, where its robust performance might significantly improve crop monitoring and disease management technologies. The research concluded with a list of potential areas for further research, including exploring the applicability of DenseNet to other crop types and investigating the possibility of hybrid models or transfer learning to enhance its performance.
