Abstract

As part of artificial intelligence technology, decision support systems have been recognized as a powerful tool to store human knowledge in computers for the purpose of making expert’s knowledge available to users. Therefore, there are very good reasons to explore the possibilities of developing information and decision support system in agriculture. The present study is an attempt to design a decision support system for plant protection taking banana as the principal crop. The software development activities were carried out in five stages. During the first stage the decision making situation was studied in depth. This was followed by developing the prototype design and operationalization of variables. The database was developed in the third stage. The software design was completed and validated in the fourth stage. The final validation of the tool with the end users was done at the final stage. And the final software was made available in the domain www.farmextensionmanager.com
