  "summary": "Chilli (Capsicum annuum) is one of India's most economically significant crops, yet its productivity is persistently threatened by diseases that are difficult to identify without expert intervention. While Vision Transformers (ViTs) have achieved high classification accuracy, their large computational footprint makes deployment on resource constrained devices challenging. Existing compression…",
