Plant leaf disease classification is crucial for crop protection and precision agriculture but remains challenging under complex backgrounds, illumination variations, and severe class imbalance. Moreover, single-architecture models often fail to effectively capture both local and global representations. To address these challenges, this study proposes an adaptive soft Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) framework with cross-architectural routing that integrates EfficientNet-B0, DenseNet-121, and Swin-Tiny to exploit complementary multi-scale, local, and global features. A soft gating mechanism dynamically assigns input-dependent expert weights, while a two-stage refinement training strategy improves optimization stability and generalization. Experiments on a highly imbalanced potato leaf disease dataset achieve 91.68% recall and 92.62% F1-score, surpassing the strongest individual expert by 5.91% and 5.03%, respectively. Additional evaluations on durian and sesame leaf disease datasets yield F1-scores of 94.03% and 97.04%, demonstrating robust cross-dataset generalization and the potential of the proposed framework for reliable real-world crop health monitoring
