Publishing a labelled maize stress dataset for open agricultural AI research

Ifeoma Okafor · Data scientist

Sharing a 220-image labelled dataset (healthy canopy, water stress, pest pressure) collected across three Kaduna-area farms and annotated in Rigo Studio, exported as COCO JSON. Open datasets are the bottleneck for agricultural machine learning in West Africa; hoping this is useful to anyone training crop-condition models for Nigerian smallholder contexts.
