Colocasia esculenta Leaf Image Dataset

The Colocasia esculenta Leaf Image Dataset includes 49,598 high-resolution JPG images (4,378 original and 45,220 augmented) of taro leaves, collected from field surveys in Pune, India, to advance machine learning models for early agricultural disease detection and classification.
This comprehensive repository offers a balanced view of healthy and diseased Colocasia esculenta leaves, with images capturing real-world variability in lighting, backgrounds, orientations, and both ventral/dorsal sides. Categories encompass Healthy leaves alongside diseased ones—Leaf Blight (caused by Phytophthora colocasiae), Mosaic (from Dasheen mosaic virus), and Root Rot (by Pythium or Phytophthora spp.)—all expertly labelled and verified for reliability.

The dataset is thoughtfully organized into categories, featuring images of both healthy leaves and those affected by diseases. Within the diseased category, the dataset further delves into specific folders dedicated to Leaf Blight and Mosaic conditions, allowing for a detailed examination of these prevalent issues in Colocasia esculenta plants.
