+# Plant Disease Treatment Assistant
+
+This application helps identify plant diseases from images and provides treatment recommendations. It uses a deep learning model trained on the PlantVillage dataset to classify plant diseases from uploaded images.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Image-based Disease Detection**: Upload an image of a plant leaf to identify diseases
+- **Treatment Recommendations**: Get specific treatment advice for identified diseases
+- **Q&A System**: Ask questions about plant diseases and treatments
+
+## Dataset
+
+This application uses the PlantVillage dataset, which contains images of healthy and diseased plant leaves across various crops including:
+- Apple
+- Cherry
+- Corn
+- Grape
+- Peach
+- Pepper
+- Potato
+- Strawberry
+- Tomato
+
+## Setup Instructions
+
+### For Hugging Face Spaces Deployment
+

+2. Upload all the files in this repository
+3. The Space will automatically install dependencies and launch the application
+
+### For Local Development
+
+1. Clone this repository
+2. Install dependencies:
+   \`\`\`
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
+   \`\`\`
+3. Download the PlantVillage dataset
+4. Prepare the dataset:
+   \`\`\`
+   python create_dataset.py
+   \`\`\`
+5. Create the treatments database:
+   \`\`\`
+   python create_treatments_csv.py
+   \`\`\`
+6. Train the model (optional, pre-trained weights are included):
+   \`\`\`
+   python train_model.py
+   \`\`\`
+7. Run the application:
+   \`\`\`
+   python app.py
+   \`\`\`
+
+## How to Use
+
+1. **Image Analysis**:
+   - Upload a clear image of a plant leaf
+   - Click "Analyze Image"
+   - View the diagnosis and treatment recommendations
+
+2. **Q&A**:
+   - Type a question about plant diseases or treatments
+   - Click "Get Answer"
+   - View the response with relevant information
+
+## Model Details
+
+The application uses a ResNet-50 model fine-tuned on the PlantVillage dataset. The model achieves approximately 95% accuracy on the validation set.
