Using MLP Neural Networks to Detect Late Blight in Brazilian Tomato Crops

Late Blight In Tomato Crops

The tomatoes are grown and eaten all around the world. It was originated from the South America (Andean region) and was imported by Europe in the 15th century. Domestication on a much more intense level occurred throughout Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries (Sims, 1980). Since the beginning of the 20th century, farmers created an enormous range of morphologically different cultivars and forms from a single species S. lycopersicum. Through domestication, the modern tomato genotypes (mostly hybrids varieties) have been developed with different shapes, colors, and sizes. Nowadays, the tomato is consumed in several ways, including raw tomatoes in salads, and processed into ketchup, pulp, juice, puree, and sauce or soup.
