Abstract: crop diseases may lead to severe agricultural yield. Hence classification and identification of crop diseases is essential to improve the agricultural yield. Various methods have been proposed to identifying the crop diseases, but the accuracy is considered to be issue over all the researches performed so far. In proposed system, the image is taken, preprocessing the image. The preprocessed image is subjected to K means clustering to get infected part of the leaf. The infected part is subjected

(2) What are the impacts that sustainable agricultural practices will have on the productivity of local farms? Hypothesis: (1) Local farmers and residents are unaware of the benefits that modern agricultural practices carry. (2) Modern agricultural practices will have a positive impact on crop yields and productivity of arid-semiarid farms. (3) The livelihoods
