Agriculture is one of the essential sources of occupation and revenue in India. Conferring to existing statistics, most agriculturalists are facing severe losses due to poor farming yield. Farming activities are challenged by various environmental factors that affect agricultural productivity to a greater extent. The present farming situation is above the average of the process involves more biochemical bases for managing the diseases and other destructing facts. The foremost problems they are facing in day-to-day farming tasks are crop or plant diseases affecting productivity. Also, the growth of weeds along with field crops has been another challenge.  The technology has developed to rectify the problems using some machine learning algorithms like Random Forest algorithms, Decision trees, Naïve Bayes, KNN, K-Means clustering, Support vector machines. The result has been evaluated and observed through the performance evaluation metrics using confusion matrix, accuracy, precision, Sensitivity, specificity with the observations, research, and studies. The statistics have expressed the overall accuracy of 98% by achieving the detection of diseases in plants and by removing the weeds that ruin the growth of plants.

INTRODUCTION: Virtual education and learning exert diverse effects on courses of different natures. Moreover, considering that the prime goal pursued by universities of applied sciences and technology is to focus on skills enhancement, the method of presentation, and the tools used. The teaching method should be designed appropriately and evaluated in terms of effectiveness. The current research, focusing on the effect of virtual education on practical and theoretical courses, seeks to assess the impact of virtual education on the achievement of the goals of the University of Applied Sciences and technology during the Covid-19 pandemic in the Applied Science Higher Education Institute Red Crescent Society of the Islamic Republic of Iran. METHODS: This applied research was conducted based on a descriptive-survey design. The data collection tools were information and data, library resources, and a researcher-made questionnaire. FINDINGS: Based on the results and the means obtained for each item, holding question and answer sessions with the highest number of good and very good items ranked first. On the other hand, uploading videos and photos to the system and providing links to related resources ranked in last place. CONCLUSION: According to the experience of virtual education in recent years following the Covid-19 pandemic, the use of hybrid methods, including online and face-to-face teaching, is recommended for teaching in skill-oriented higher education centers.
