Abstract

Abstract: Rice is a producer of basic human needs that have a very important role. Every use of new seeds can cause disease in new plants and often the results obtained are not optimal because they do not know more precisely the type of disease that attacks the rice plants. Most rice farmers still use manual methods to find out the existence of the disease in the rice plants, namely by seeing it directly in the rice fields so that often rice farmers are too late to know these symptoms due to the lack of more knowledge and understanding of rice plants. To overcome the problems that occur it takes a system that has the knowledge like an expert. In this study, an expert system with an Android-based design was designed to make it easier for farmers to access information and can be used as a tool to diagnosediseases in rice plants so that they can be accessed wherever and whenever to overcome the problems faced by farmers. In this system applying the backward chaining method as the basis of the rules and the certainty factor method as weighting, so that by using the method that has been applied in testing various types of diseases and symptoms, the diagnosis of the type of blast disease is 68, 83%.
