By accurately identifying diseased plants, farmers can target treatment only to the affected areas, reducing the number of pesticides or fungicides needed and minimizing environmental impact. Tomatoes are among the most significant and extensively consumed crops worldwide. The main factor affecting crop yield quantity and quality is leaf disease. Various diseases can affect tomato production, impacting both yield and quality. Automated classification of leaf images allows for the early identification of diseased plants, enabling prompt intervention and control measures. Many creative approaches to diagnosing and categorizing specific illnesses have been widely employed. The manual method is costly and labor-intensive. Without the assistance of an agricultural specialist, disease detection can be facilitated by image processing combined with machine learning algorithms. In this study, the diseases in tomato leaves will be detected using new feature extraction method using conformable polynomials image features for accurate solution and faster detection of plant diseases through a machine learning model. The methodology of this study based on:•Preprocessing, feature extraction, dimension reduction and classification modules.•Conformable polynomials method is used to extract the texture features which is passed classifier.•The proposed texture feature is constructed by two parts the enhanced based term, and the texture detail part for textual analysis.•The tomato leaf samples from the plant village image dataset were used to gather the data for this model. The disease detected are 98.80 % accurate for tomato leaf images using SVM classifier. In addition to lowering financial loss, the suggested feature extraction method can help manage plant diseases effectively, improving crop yield and food security.
