Application of Naïve Bayes Algorithm in Expert System for Diagnosing Chilli Plant Diseases Based on Growth Phase on Peatland

Abstrak

Agricultural development on peatlands has its own challenges, especially in the cultivation of chili plants that are susceptible to various diseases. Therefore, an expert system is needed that can help farmers diagnose chili plant diseases quickly and accurately based on the plant growth phase. This research aims to apply the Naïve Bayes algorithm to the expert system for diagnosing Capsicum annum L (Chilli) plant diseases. The results of the expert system research offer an innovative and adaptive solution for the management of plant diseases in peatlands, with great potential to increase agricultural productivity and plant resistance to disease. The expert system is able to diagnose several types of diseases on chili plants in peatlands, such as anthracnose, fusarium wilt, and leaf curl disease. Each diagnosis is based on symptoms observed in each phase of plant growth, from the vegetative phase to the generative phase. Expert system testing results. This system is expected to increase the productivity and quality of chili crops on peatlands, as well as reduce losses due to disease attacks. In addition, this research also shows that the Naive Bayes algorithm has great potential to be applied in expert systems in other agricultural fields.
