A Review of Fuzzy Based Expert System in Agriculture

Agriculture in India has a very significant history. Today, India ranked second worldwide in terms of farm output. Over the year agriculture has contributed towards India’s GDP but is narrowly declining with the country's economic growth due lack of initiatives. Over the years there have been various advancements and experiments done in this field. One such is Fuzzy expert systems which are being used in agriculture for various activities i.e soil preparation, seed selection, pesticide management, water scheduling, weed management etc, with an objective to get better results and good yield out of crops. An fuzzy expert system is a collection of membership functions and rules that are used to reason about data. Unlike conventional expert systems, which are mainly symbolic reasoning engines, fuzzy expert systems are oriented toward numerical processing. In this paper we will be discussing role of fuzzy expert system and various experiments and research applied in field of agriculture
