{"slug": "fieldsense-ai-why-plant-health-decisions-need-more-than-a-disease-classifier", "title": "FieldSense AI: Why Plant-Health Decisions Need More Than a Disease Classifier", "summary": "A developer built FieldSense AI, an open-source prototype that pairs image-based plant disease classification with evidence-driven agricultural investigation and commerce features, arguing that plant-health decisions require more than a standalone disease classifier. The project, published on GitHub, cites foundational plant-disease deep learning research including the 2016 Mohanty et al. Frontiers paper and the 2020 PlantDoc dataset.", "body_md": "Mohanty, S.
