Abstract: The identification and severity assessment of plant leaf diseases is crucial to food security and sustainable agriculture. This study shows an innovative way to improve plant leaf disease detection. The recommended method uses Optuna for parameter optimization and the Genetic Algorithm for feature selection to improve plant leaf disease identification. We do this to improve diagnosis accuracy. This method improves classification accuracy and is called ECPLDD-OGA. Modern hyper parameter optimization framework Optuna is employed. This allows classification model parameters to be fine-tuned. A systematic feature selection method is the Genetic Algorithm. It finds the most useful characteristics in the input dataset. By applying the algorithm on the data. By facilitation, the iterative process helps create a simplified and meaningful subset of features. Contrary to parameter tinkering and feature selection, empirical data suggests that utilizing Optuna and the Genetic Algorithm simultaneously improves disease identification. The updated model recognizes sick plants more accurately and generalizes better. Optimization enabled both gains. The usage of this technology can improve agricultural operations and reduce crop losses by increasing productivity. The present ECPLDD-OGA technique helps integrate hyper parameter tweaking and feature selection into machine learning-based agricultural applications.
