Decision Making in Integrated Pest Management and Bayesian Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
Timely availability of expert support to the farmers for appropriate decision-making on ‘whether and what pest management option is required’ is imperative for effective Integrated Pest Management (IPM). For several decades Economic Threshold Level (ETL) has been the basis for decision-making but in modern IPM emphasis is given on agro-ecological situation wherein IPM decisions are based on large range of pest relevant information such as crop health, natural enemies, weather etc. beside pest incidence scientifically obtained through farmers’ field scouting. But large farming community in India can rather obtain the tentative information of this kind, consisting uncertainties. Bayesian Network (BN),anartificial intelligence approach could help in developing technique/model to deal with tentative pest relevant information which can be used in field scouting based IPM Decision Support Systems (DSSs) to automate the process of advising appropriate pest management option to the farmers on the basis of tentative agroecological situation of their fields.

متن کاملApplication of multi-criteria decision making to estimate the potential of flooding
Integrating a geographic information system and multi-criteria decision making methods have been lead to provide spatial multi-criteria decision making methods. In this study, the spatial potential of flooding was determined based on analytic network process and analytic hierarchy process. At first, six factors of flooding were determined as criteria. The criteria were the slope, hill-slope asp...

To enhance Patient’s safety, we need effective methods for risk management. This work aims to propose an integrated approach to risk management for a hospital system. To improve patient’s safety, we should develop flexible methods where different aspects of risk and type of information are taken into consideration. This paper proposes a fuzzy Bayesian network to model and analyze risk in the op...

Drought is a feature of climate that can occur in virtually all climates. Therefore, it is aninevitable global but site-specific phenomenon which requires tools to predict and strategies andoptions to cope with it. In this research, the ability and effectiveness of the Bayesian DecisionNetworks (BDNs) approach in decision-making and evaluating drought management options forrainfed wheat product...
