as well as humans and animals. This article has reviewed the methods by which the fruit diseases
can be detected at an early stage. First a review of the previous methods used to detect fruit
diseases has been done. Second, the study has highlighted the results obtained from the
methodologies and lastly research gaps have been identified. The purpose of this survey is to
pave a path for researchers to learn different methods in detecting plant diseases at an early
