The annotated dataset consists of irish potatoes leaf imagery for early diseases detection. The irish potato crop leaves images were taken in Mbeya region in the Southern Highlands of Tanzania between 22nd November 2022 and 08th April 2023 using a mobile data collection tool, called the Open Data Kit (ODK). The crop leaf imagery dataset use case is developing machine learning models and end-user tools for early detection of (i) Early blight, and (ii) Late blight diseases in irish potatoes. The common leaf imagery data was collected from small holder farms using Samsung Galaxy A03 Core smartphones.
All images are in the .zip files; “lateblt.zip” has 20,499 images, “healthy.zip” has 20,438 images, and “earlyblt.zip” has 17,772 images. A total of 58,709 image files are labelled.

In Ireland, there were *** deaths from pneumonia in 2023, a slight increase compared to the previous year. This statistic displays the number of deaths due to pneumonia in Ireland between 2009 and 2023. Respiratory disease in Ireland Pneumonia is a potentially deadly, acute respiratory condition involving lung tissue inflammation often caused by a bacterial, fungal, or viral infection. Other serious respiratory conditions include chronic illnesses such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, and asthma. Over recent years, deaths due to diseases of the respiratory system had been increasing in Ireland up until 2018, to decrease in the following years and increase again in 2022. In 2023, there were ***** deaths due to chronic diseases of the lower respiratory system. Other leading health conditions of concern in Ireland include high blood pressure, arthritis, and high cholesterol. Prevention and intervention One major risk factor for both chronic and acute respiratory conditions is smoking: in Ireland, an estimated ** percent of the adult population smokes cigarettes as of 2020. Other risk factors for chronic respiratory conditions include air pollution, exposure to occupational chemicals, and frequent respiratory infections during childhood. Besides avoidance of risk factors and triggers, management of these conditions can be provided through medications such as inhaled corticosteroids.
