Natural Resources Conservation and Crop Management Expert Systems
|
|
|
Abstract: This paper presents how expert systems for crop management can help in natural resources conservation. This is done through giving an overview of the status of natural resources in Egypt with emphasis on water and soil resources , describing briefly five expert systems developed for managing cucumber, tomato, orange, lime, and wheat, and explaining how the recommendations that optimize the output relative to the agricultural inputs will lead to environmental conservation as it will be guaranteed that no extra inputs will be provided such as water, fertilizers and pesticides without a return in the yield. The paper also responds to the issue concerning the integration with other types of software and presents how decision makers at different levels can use crop management expert systems.
