The paper presents a configurable multi‑stage vision pipeline for Farmer.Chat, a farm advisory service that processes farmer‑submitted crop photos. It splits the task into a quality gate, a crop detector, and a disease/pest detector, offering two routes: a single fine‑tuned vision‑language model and a set of small specialist models. The new pipeline improves crop accuracy to 95.41% and provides a fast MobileNetV3 quality gate, while retaining the ability to request better photos and answer all queries in one call.

FedXCrop is a federated learning pipeline for crop disease classification that preserves farmer privacy while providing post‑aggregation explainability. The system uses a MobileNetV2 model and achieves near‑centralized accuracy (98.81%–99.38%) across five clients, even under non‑IID label skew. Grad‑CAM and SmoothGrad explanations are quantitatively evaluated, showing that federated models largely retain explainability characteristics of centralized models, though agreement decreases with increased heterogeneity.
