To address this gap, we introduce TomaMMU, a large-scale Tomato leaf disease MultiModal Understanding dataset, alongside TomaBench, a benchmark for evaluating VLMs on tomato disease understanding. TomaMMU comprises 28,808 high-quality images spanning 15 categories and 213,119 human-annotated visual question-answer pairs, generated through a three-stage pipeline comprising Data Collection, Human Annotation, and Question-Answer Generation.

Artificial intelligence for plant disease analysis has advanced from task-specific classifiers to multi-modal models capable of jointly interpreting visual and textual information. However, practical...
The paper introduces SOLAR, a multimodal generative model that jointly interprets visual and textual data to understand tomato leaf diseases across six question‑answering tasks. SOLAR aligns visual features with task‑aware language representations using a Fusion Expert module based on a mixture‑of‑experts, enabling it to generate contextually relevant answers for diverse diagnostic tasks. Evaluated on 41,677 images and 216,209 QA pairs, SOLAR outperforms state‑of‑the‑art vision‑only, vision‑language, and task‑specific models in both closed and open‑ended settings, demonstrating superior accuracy, robustness, and multimodal reasoning.
