Philomine Roseline, Clarence J.m Tauro, N. Ganesan . Design and Development of Fuzzy Expert System for Integrated Disease Management in Finger Millets. International Journal of Computer Applications. 56, 1 ( October 2012), 31-36. DOI=10.5120/8857-2815
Expert system - a branch of Artificial Intelligence is a collection of programs which has the ability to reason, justify and answer the queries in a particular domain as a human expert would do. It can be applied to various fields. Expert system in agriculture is gathering momentum and this paper aims at tackling the control and remedial measures for disease management for the staple food crop of Karnataka – Finger Millets popularly known as Ragi. The introduction section consists of contributions of expert systems in agriculture. The second section explains the process in Integrated Disease Management (IDM). The third section is about knowledge engineering process which consists of knowledge acquisition and knowledge representation. The fourth section is about the application of fuzzy logic in IDM. The fifth section briefs about defuzzification of IDM.
