Abstract: Cotton is one of the most important commercial crops in India and many other countries, contributing significantly to the textile industry and agricultural economy. However, cotton production is severely affected by leaf diseases and pest infestations, leading to reduced yield and financial losses for farmers. Traditional disease detection methods rely heavily on expert knowledge and manual inspection, which are time-consuming, subjective, and not scalable. Existing deep learning approaches largely depend on supervised learning techniques that require extensive labeled datasets, which are expensive and difficult to obtain in real agricultural environments. This paper presents a self-supervised learning (SSL)–based framework for cotton plant disease and pest detection using unlabeled leaf images. The proposed approach learns robust visual representations from raw cotton leaf images without manual annotation and later fine-tunes the model using a small labeled dataset. Feature embeddings extracted from the SSL model are analyzed using clustering techniques to understand disease separability. Experimental results demonstrate improved generalization, reduced annotation dependency, and robustness to real-field conditions compared to conventional supervised models. The proposed system is suitable for scalable agricultural deployment and precision farming applications.
Keywords: Self-supervised learning, cotton leaf disease, agricultural image classification, plant disease detection..
