Abstract

Interactive Pest Knowledge Online System For Farmers is a web-based system that helps farmers to identify pest or disease of a plant via two interactive approaches, contextual understanding and image analysis. Currently, when farmers experience any problem for their plant, they always asking around their peers or use trial and error method to find the right cure of their plant. However, the answer that they are asking from their peers might be inaccurate or the trial and error method might not eventually be working out to find the cure. Therefore, Plant Protection Research Institute (PPRI) in Vietnam has provided a Pest Knowledge Bank website which consists of all information related to pest or disease that they have done research. But there is too many information that they need to read and understand. It would be time and energy consuming for the farmer. This system is to help farmer to understand and learn how to control unknown type of pest or disease of a plant. Besides that, it is to develop interactive and intuitive Pest Knowledge Bank web-based application for farmers to improve public knowledge of agriculture towards efficient, secure and sustainable agriculture. Moreover, the system is to help farmers to search related pests or disease with an easier and more efficient way. The system is developed based on the Database Life Cycle methodology which consists of following stages, database requirement analysis, database design, implement and loading, testing and evaluation and maintenance and evolution. This system can be equipped as a reference and contributed in education of agroecology field.
