Utilizing the best of the information on various diseases of tobacco and their symptoms, an expert system was developed for identification and management of these diseases. The expert system was developed using Visual Basic.Net as front-end application and Oracle as back-end with user-friendly menus. It enables viewer/farmer to identify a problem with different disease symptoms displayed and identify problem as well as remedial measures. The present expert system can also be utilized for other crops because of the uniqueness of the software developed.
