Plant Disease Recognition from Photos — New AI Feature in Zielona Manufaktura

How does it work?

The process is extremely simple and takes literally a few seconds:

1. Take a photo of a diseased leaf, stem, or fruit — the sharper and in better light, the better.
2. Upload the photo in the app or on the website (drag or click).
3. Optionally provide the plant name — this helps AI achieve even more accurate results.
4. Get a diagnosis — in a few seconds you'll know what's wrong with your plant.

Behind the scenes, two artificial intelligence systems work. The first analyzes the photo and identifies the disease based on a database of thousands of cases. The second prepares a complete description for you in English — in understandable, everyday language, without scientific jargon.

What do you get from the analysis?

Each diagnosis includes:

• Disease name — in English and Latin, so you can easily search for further information.
• Confidence level — AI indicates how certain it is of its diagnosis, expressed as a percentage.
• Urgency assessment — whether you need to act immediately or can calmly plan treatment.
• Disease description — where it comes from, what the symptoms are, and how it develops.
• Recommended treatment — specific steps you can take to save the plant.
• Product suggestions — what products to look for in garden centers.

And if your plant is healthy? AI will inform you about it — and you can sleep peacefully.

Who is this feature for?

For everyone who grows plants — regardless of experience:

• Beginning gardeners — you don't need to know phytopathology, AI will recognize the problem for you.
• Experienced gardeners — quick confirmation of suspicions before applying treatments.
• Houseplant lovers — monstera, orchid, or ficus — AI recognizes diseases of potted plants equally well.
• Professionals — quick field diagnosis without the need to send samples to a laboratory.

What benefits does AI provide in the garden?

Speed of response. Many plant diseases spread rapidly. The faster you recognize the problem, the greater the chance of saving the plant — and often neighboring plants in the garden too.

Cost savings. Instead of using "just in case" universal products, you'll apply exactly the treatment that's needed. No more buying random sprays.

Learning through practice. With each diagnosis, you learn to recognize symptoms. After a few seasons, you'll know yourself that those characteristic brown spots on tomatoes are late blight.

24/7 availability. Your plant doesn't wait for garden center opening hours. You can take a photo anytime — diagnosis is immediate.

Tips for best results

• Photograph up close — the more details visible, the better the diagnosis.
• Take photos in natural light — avoid flash and shadows.
• Photograph the diseased part of the plant, not the whole plant from afar.
• Provide the plant name — this significantly improves accuracy.
• If symptoms are on several parts of the plant, do multiple analyses.
