Image dataset of healthy and infected fig leaves with Ficus leaf worm.

This work presents an extensive dataset comprising images meticulously obtained from diverse geographic locations within Iraq, depicting both healthy and infected fig leaves affected by Ficus leafworm. This particular pest poses a significant threat to economic interests, as its infestations often lead to the defoliation of trees, resulting in reduced fruit production. The dataset comprises two distinct classes: infected and healthy, with the acquisition of images executed with precision during the fruiting season, employing state-of-the-art high-resolution equipment, as detailed in the specifications table. In total, the dataset encompasses a substantial 2,321 images, with 1,350 representing infected leaves and 971 depicting healthy ones. The images were acquired through a random sampling approach, ensuring a harmonious blend of balance and diversity across data emanating from distinct fig trees. The proposed dataset carries substantial potential for impact and utility, featuring essential attributes such as the binary classification of infected and healthy leaves. The presented dataset holds the potential to be a valuable resource for the pest control industry within the domains of agriculture and food production.
