  "summary": "Potato is an important food-security crop in Ethiopia, but its production is affected by foliar diseases, particularly early blight and late blight. This study develops a lightweight convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify potato leaves into three categories: healthy, early blight, and late blight. The proposed model was trained using 2,215 images from the PlantVillage dataset and…",
