Artificial Intelligence Artificial intelligence (AI) is the study of how computers can simulate, to some extent, human activities such as thinking, perceiving, learning and acting. AI systems are designed to mimic the human capabilities of thinking and sensing. SRGE 08/04/2014 Egypt 5. Expert System Expert system (ES) is a branch of Artificial Intelligence that uses knowledge and problem solving techniques. SRGE 08/04/2014 Egypt 6. Expert System is designed to hold the accumulated knowledge of one or more domain experts. It simulates the problem solving behavior of an expert in a narrow domain Expert System SRGE 08/04/2014 Egypt 7. Diagnostic Expert System SRGE 08/04/2014 Egypt 8.

Diagnostic Expert System SRGE 08/04/2014 Egypt 12. Expert Systems in Agriculture Expert systems can be used as an effective tool for knowledge documentation, transfer and sharing. Gap of knowledge between researchers and academics and extension or field workers or growers. SRGE 08/04/2014 Egypt 13. Expert System Application Decision support tool. Community knowledge share tool. Automatic control. SRGE 08/04/2014 Egypt 14. Decision Support Tool Plant Farm Management: Varity selection Agricultural Practices: Land Preparation, Planting, Plant Care, Fertilization, Irrigation, Harvest Animal Farm Management: Caring, Feeding Diagnosis and Treatment (Plant, Animal) SRGE 08/04/2014 Egypt 15. Barely Varity Selection Back SRGE 08/04/2014 Egypt 16. Wheat Fertilization Back SRGE 08/04/2014 Egypt 17. Wheat Irrigation Back SRGE 08/04/2014 Egypt 18. Poultry Caring Back SRGE 08/04/2014 Egypt 19. Rice Treatment SRGE 08/04/2014 Egypt 20. Community Knowledge Share Tool SRGE 08/04/2014 Egypt 21. Community Knowledge Share Tool Each expert builds his/her own system. Diagnosis specific disorders group. SRGE 08/04/2014 Egypt 22. Community Knowledge Share Tool SRGE 08/04/2014 Egypt 23. Automatic Control Develop machine that eliminate red palm weevil based on expert systems technology. Control irrigation using an embedded expert system. SRGE 08/04/2014 Egypt 24. Expert systems overcomes the aforementioned problems: Integration of knowledge and experiences of different specialties. Integration of information sources such as images, videos. The undocumented experience and knowledge. The lack of experts to support agricultural growers . Updating information (pesticides). Conclusion SRGE 08/04/2014 Egypt 25. Conclusion Expert System can Use as a tool for organizing researchers knowledge. Use as a knowledge transfer and sharing tool. Use as a training tool. Use as a Decision support tool for assisting extension officers and growers in their job. Allow environmentally and socially complementary control to be used in production agriculture SRGE 08/04/2014 Egypt 26. Thanks
