  "summary": "The application of computer vision in agriculture has shown significant potential for improving crop monitoring and precision farming. However, many existing approaches rely on controlled datasets that do not adequately represent realworld farming conditions, particularly in underrepresented regions such as Africa. This study presents a comparative evaluation of six object detection models…",
