ResumenAccurate and timely diagnosis of citrus diseases is essential for reducing economic losses in global agriculture. Although deep learning models provide high diagnostic accuracy, their computational demands often hinder deployment on resource-limited edge devices. To overcome this challenge, this study proposes an optimized hybrid framework for phytopathological classification. The methodology combines handcrafted descriptors (Blue-Green-Red “BGR” color statistical moments) with hierarchical spatial abstractions derived from a pre-trained Visual Geometry Group 16-layer (VGG16) deep architecture. An initial high-dimensional feature space was created by concatenating 360 handcrafted statistical descriptors and 12,800 deep textural features. By implementing a Wrapper-Greedy Stepwise selection strategy, this original space was reduced by over 96%. The resulting Elite Model identifies 12 and 18 critical attributes across two independent, transcontinental datasets (Mexico and Pakistan, respectively), effectively capturing both subtle chromatic anomalies and complex structural lesions. Experimental benchmarking confirms that this parsimonious hybrid approach delivers robust classification accuracy ranging from 87.30% to 95.23%, significantly outperforming unimodal architectures. Ultimately, this framework provides a highly efficient, interpretable, and scalable solution for real-time disease monitoring in precision agriculture.es_ES
