        abstract = {The agricultural sector faces challenges from diseases affecting crop yields, including papaya. Early and accurate disease detection is vital for preventing damage. This paper introduces a deep learning approach for papaya disease detection using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). We developed a model that identifies common papaya diseases, like leaf spots, mold, and fruit rot, with high accuracy. Trained, validated, and tested on a dataset of healthy and diseased papayas, the model delivered promising results. This study enhances detection accuracy and supports precision agriculture by providing an automated, scalable tool for monitoring papaya health. The results highlight the value of AI-driven image classification in helping farmers make timely, informed decisions to protect their crops.},
