description Plant diseases affect the availability and safety of plants for human and animal consumption and threaten food safety, thus reducing food availability and access, as well as reducing crop yield and quality. There is a need for novel disease detection methods that can be used to reduce plant losses due to disease. Thus, this study aims to diagnose tomato leaf diseases by classifying healthy and unhealthy tomato leaf images using two pre-trained convolutional neural networks (CNNs): Inception V3 and Inception ResNet V2. The two models were trained using an open-source database (PlantVillage) and field-recorded images with a total of 5225 images. The models were investigated with dropout rates of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 40%, and 50%. The most important results showed that the Inception V3 model with a 50% dropout rate and the Inception ResNet V2 model with a 15% dropout rate, as they gave the best performance with an accuracy of 99.22% and a loss of 0.03. The high-performance rate shows the possibility of utilizing CNNs models for diagnosing tomato diseases under field and laboratory conditions. It is also an approach that can be expanded to support an integrated system for diagnosing various plant diseases.
