Grape leaf disease recognition is important for precision agriculture, enabling early diagnosis, timely intervention, and improved vineyard management. Although deep learning has achieved strong results, many studies rely on few datasets, often acquired under controlled conditions, and may not reflect real vineyard challenges such as complex backgrounds, variable illumination, occlusion, leaf pose, disease severity, and device differences. This paper presents a dataset-centric benchmark of deep learning methods for grape leaf disease classification and detection. We analyze publicly available datasets in terms of disease categories, annotation types, acquisition conditions, image characteristics, class distributions, provenance, and task suitability. Representative models are evaluated in three settings: image-level classification, region-level classification, and object detection. Classification is assessed using accuracy, while detection is evaluated using mAP@50 and mAP@50:95. Cross-dataset experiments further examine transfer between datasets with compatible disease categories but different visual and annotation characteristics. Results show near-saturated classification performance on several controlled or derivative datasets, greater difficulty on heterogeneous datasets, and substantial variation in detection performance across annotation settings. Cross-dataset performance drops sharply, especially for object detection, indicating that shared disease labels do not necessarily define equivalent recognition tasks. The benchmark emphasizes dataset provenance, realistic field evaluation, annotation compatibility, and external validation for reliable vineyard disease recognition.
