The bacterium <i>Xanthomonas campestris</i> poses a significant threat to global agriculture due to its ability to infect leaves, fruits, and stems under various climatic conditions. Its rapid spread across large crop areas results in economic losses, compromises agricultural productivity, increases management costs, and threatens food security, especially in small-scale agricultural systems. To address this issue, this study developed a model that combines fuzzy logic and neural networks, optimized with intelligent algorithms, to detect symptoms of this foliar disease in 15 essential crop species under different environmental conditions using images. For this purpose, Sugeno-type fuzzy inference systems and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS) were employed, configured with rules and clustering methods designed to address cases where diagnostic uncertainty arises due to the imprecision of different agricultural scenarios. The model achieved an accuracy of 93.81%, demonstrating robustness against variations in lighting, shadows, and capture angles, and proving effective in identifying patterns associated with the disease at early stages, enabling rapid and reliable diagnoses. This advancement represents a significant contribution to the automated detection of plant diseases, providing an accessible tool that enhances agricultural productivity and promotes sustainable practices in crop care.
