Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAn Intelligent Hybrid Machine Learning Model for Paddy Disease DetectionS. Hrushikesava Raju, S. Adinarayna, U. Sesadri et al.Most countries rely on paddy/rice as a preferred staple crop due to its desirable agronomic characteristics. However, during the growth cycle, undetected or delayed identification of diseases can significantly reduce crop yield. To address this, machine learning approaches are increasingly employed for early-stage disease detection. Traditional Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), while useful for sequential data, suffer from limitations such as … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 4 · 29 Apr 2026 · 1,754 accessesView PDFCite
