# Potato Disease Classification

This dataset contains real RGB images of potato tubers captured in field environments, depicting various disease symptoms affecting potato crops. The natural agricultural context of the image collection provides a realistic foundation for developing and evaluating computer vision models focused on potato disease detection. The dataset contains 3,905 images across 10 classes: Black Scurf, Blackleg, Blackspot Bruising, Brown Rot, Common Scab, Dry Rot, Healthy Potatoes, Miscellaneous, Pink Rot, Soft Rot.  
Images per class:
- Black Scurf: 49
- Blackleg: 60
- Blackspot Bruising: 770
- Brown Rot: 105
- Common Scab: 60
- Dry Rot: 1,355
- Healthy Potatoes: 815
- Miscellaneous: 74
- Pink Rot: 57
- Soft Rot: 560

This dataset is indexed on https://project-agml.github.io/ as part of the AgML python library.
