Abstract - The Areca nut tree is a type of straight-trunk tree that can grow up to 30 meters tall and 25 to 40 centimeters in diameter. The normal life expectancy is up to 60 years, with some species living up to 100 years. It is believed that Sulawesi (Celebes), Indonesia, Malaysia, and New Guinea are the natural habitats of this plant. Its range encompasses areas of East Africa, the Pacific, and the tropics in Asia. The areca nut goes by various names, including catechu, betel palm nut, and Areca nut. This plant can adapt to creeks, wetlands, and the borders of swamp forests. Almost every part of this plant is commercially valuable for humans. In terms of plant morphology, the pinnate leaves of areca nuts range in length from one to 1.5 meters. The midrib leaf's base is crown-shaped and gray in color. Branched flower stalks emerge from beneath the crown stalk and extend to a maximum length of one meter. The fruit has red or orange seeds that are 4-5 cm wide and 5-6 cm long, and it might be round or somewhat flat in shape. Pinang belongs to the Order Arecales, Family Ericaceae, Division Spermatophyta, Monocotyledon class, and Genus Areca in taxonomy.

Thisdiseasecausesweightlossand occurs in fruits. The fruits start cracking leading to no yield from thediseasedseeds.Thesymptoms are early yellowing of seeds and the fruits develop a crack on the underside.Thisisafairlycommon diseaseinarecanutplants.
Inflorescencedie-backandButton shedding Thetreesinfectedwiththisdisease cause significant shedding of thumbbuttons.
The rachis starts yellowing and drying, the female flowers and buttonsstart shedding.
Basedontheliteraturesurvey,previousresearchhasdemonstratedtheapplicationofvariousdeeplearningmodelsfordisease detection, albeit with a focus on specific diseases. This current work aims to enhance disease detection across a broader spectrum by utilizing the Res-Net model. The choice of ResNet is attributed to its incorporation of skipping connections, effectively mitigating the vanishing gradient problem and thereby improving detection accuracy. The significance lies in assistingArecanutfarmerswithearlydiseasedetection,enablingthemtomakeinformedpreparationsandultimatelyreducing yieldloss.Themodelhasachievedanimpressiveaccuracyrateof97.5percent,demonstratingitsefficacy.Furthermore,there ispotentialforextendingthisapproachtoaddressvariousdiseasesaffectingArecanutandothercrops.
