Knowledge-Based System for Crop Pests and Diseases Recognition
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
there is difference between algorithm and psedocode, check this https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/difference-between-algorithm-pseudocode-and-program/
Result comparison need to be in table.
No need for table 5.
equation 1,2,3 can use an acronym for better presentation
Half of the introduction should move to the related work section
Figure 1 internal component connection is not clearly presented
Figure 5 must be a table not figure.
Results are not conclusive, As real datasets are scarce, authors can first show the result of the synthetic dataset and then tried with the real dataset, so the methodology viable or not can be easily understandable.
need more results and comparisons it can have some value.

Knowledge-based system for crop pests and disease recognition
I would encourage the authors to extend their interesting work to have utility in conventional crops as well as organic. While offering some advantage (perhaps) to organic growers, seems like the application could definitely fit across multiple management systems (could help conventional growers use less pesticide through correct diagnosis or make better choices; these are all good outcomes and part of IPM).
Specific edits:
L19 use abbreviation, IPM
L28-41. I think the repetition of these definitions, with a heavy hand on organics, unnecessarily biases the article towards organic and away from conventional. I do not see why there is this bias towards organics. I would significantly shorten (or delete) much of this text. I would rather see the authors highlight definitions of IPM.
L49 …..detection of the…
L50 …small and large….
L61 I do not believe RFID has been defined yet
L62-65 I would recommend deleting the word “app” for all of these except the last one.
L65 should this be “teaching and…”?
L68 delete currently
L76 ….Web adds semantics…
L80 …these data…
L82, L245, L622 and elsewhere. Hyphens are not used with adverbs: Semantically enhanced…. generally used…
L94 replace “at hand” with “accessible” or similar
L94 replace ‘timely’ with ‘readily’
L96 in situ should be italicized
L100 fully fledged (no hyphen)
L101 replace ‘damages’ with ‘injury’ or ‘damage’
L111 plant parts…
L124, L212, L237, L671, and elsewhere. one can delete “in order” in almost all situations and not lose a thing.
Footnote 3, L185, and elsewhere. ‘inputted’ seems awkward. Maybe “entered” ‘inserted’? or one can say “input’ too. Not a big deal…
L165 replace ‘nowadays’ with ‘current’
L166 …high-resolution (insert hyphen)
L168 replace ‘damages’ with ‘injury’
L213 Has OWL been defined previously? Maybe I missed it.
L252-253. Can you clarify here? I got lost with who is “they’ and “Their”.
L295 Delete ‘in a nutshell’ (colloquial). Just start with , The system…
L295 …two-step… (add hyphen, delete s)
Caption for Figure 1. Can you expand this a bit more? It is not clear from the caption what this is. Or maybe something like, “Proposed functional architecture framework for Natural Language Text system”
L330 delete space between footnote and semi-colon
L362 replace “suffers” with “can be infected with different types of agents” or similar. Suffers is very anthropomorphic.
L366 spell out “stats”
L410 is ‘tokenized’ a term that should be defined? Maybe I am just not familiar with it.
L479 …it provides the farmer with….
L481 see comment for L362; suffers…
L527 replace ‘some worrying signs’ with symptoms. And/or correct spelling of ‘signs’.
L611 ….trees…grape vines…
L612-613 re-write: only half …. correctly, without any results for 7 of the 25 test case
L746 Deutsch citation. Should there be something in the parentheses? (80- )
Citations in general. Some titles are in Title Case and some are in Sentence case; please be consistent with what the journal wants.
