Researchers are trying to improve this sector by using the latest technologies. One of the problems facing farmers in the agricultural activities is plant diseases. If a plant problem is diagnosed soon, the farmer can treat the disease more effectively. This study introduces a new deep artificial neural network called AgriNet which is suitable for recognizing some types of agricultural diseases in a plant using images from the plant leaves. The proposed network makes use of the channel shuffling technique of ShuffleNet and the channel dependencies modeling technique of SENet. One of the factors influencing the effectiveness of the proposed network architecture is how to increase the flow of information in the channels after explicitly modelling interdependencies between channels. This is in fact, an important novelty of this research work. The dataset used in this study is PlantVillage, which contains 14 types of plants in 24 groups of healthy and diseased. Our experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the other methods in this area. AgriNet leads to accuracy and loss of 98% and 7%, respectively on the experimental data. This method increases the recognition accuracy by about 2% and reduces the loss by 8% compared to the ShuffleNetV2 method.}, keywords = {Plant Diseases Recognition,Convolutional neural network,ShuffleNet,SENet}, url = {https://jad.shahroodut.ac.ir/article_2431.html}, eprint = {https://jad.shahroodut.ac.ir/article_2431_10ea85357f4b93525c9f43aa020d424a.pdf} }
