When problems in agriculture go unnoticed until it's too late, the inputs used—such as fertilizers, pesticides, and water—become wasted resources. Farmers invest heavily in these inputs with the expectation of a fruitful harvest. However, late disease detection leads to crop failure, resulting in not only lost crops but also wasted financial investments. This inefficiency ultimately undermines the livelihoods of farmers and the economic stability of the agricultural sector.
