Deep learning models have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional approaches for plant disease identification, a critical challenge in agricultural production. However, the existing plant disease datasets are insufficient to address the complexities of realworld agricultural scenarios, such as multi crop disease, unseen, few-shot, and domain shift adaptation. Additionally, the lack of standardized evaluation protocols and benchmark datasets hinders the fair evaluation of models against these challenges. To bridge this gap, we introduce Deep-Plant-Disease, the largest and most diverse dataset with novel text data designed to enhance model generalization in multi crop disease identification. We revisit and reformulate the task by establishing a standardized evaluation framework that supports consistent benchmarking and guides future research. Through experiments, we further validate the robustness and adaptability of models trained on our dataset, highlighting their effective transferability to real-world agricultural challenges.
