Expert Systems in Agriculture
|
|
Agricultural production has evolved into a complex business requiring the accumulation
and integration of knowledge and information from many diverse sources. In order
to remain competitive, the modern farmer often relies on agricultural specialists
and advisors to provide information for decision making. Unfortunately, agricultural
specialist assistance is not always available when the farmer needs it. In order
to alleviate this problem, expert systems were identified as a powerful tool with
extensive potential in agriculture.

What is an Expert System?
|
An Expert System (ES), also called a Knowledge Based System (KBS), is a computer
program designed to simulate the problem-solving behavior of an expert in a narrow
do main or discipline. In agriculture, expert systems unite the accumulated expertise
of individual disciplines, e.g., plantpathology, entomology, horticulture and agricultural
meteorology, into a framework that best addresses the specific ,on-site needs of
farmers. Expert systems combine the experimental and experiential knowledge with
the intuitive reasoning skills of a multitude of specialists to aid farmers in making
the best decisions for their crops.
