Abstract— Sugarcane cultivation faces significant challenges due to biotic stresses such as fungal and viral diseases, as well as abiotic factors including climate variability and soil nutrient imbalance. Accurate disease diagnosis and yield estimation are critical for improving productivity and ensuring sustainable agricultural practices. This study proposes an integrated machine learning framework for automated sugarcane disease classification and yield prediction.A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based deep learning model is implemented for image-based disease detection, enabling automatic feature extraction and high-accuracy classification of major sugarcane diseases. For yield prediction, supervised regression algorithms including Random Forest Regressor and Gradient Boosting are employed to model the relationship between environmental parameters, soil properties, and historical yield data.Experimental evaluation demonstrates improved predictive performance in both classification and regression tasks. The proposed system provides a data-driven decision support tool for farmers, enhancing crop management efficiency and reducing agricultural losses.
