| dc.description.abstract | The land is a mixture of physical and natural environment that includes its climate, ground,
relief, and hydrology. The mixture of soil has consequences of its land use. On the other hand, the
success of agriculture and agro-industry is influenced by the success of its agriculture cultivation.
This research intends to build an expert system that can be used to determine evaluation of crop
land, in particular, for patchouli croр.
The Expert System of Patchouli Land Suitability is aimed to provide information on land
characteristics that are suitable for patchouli. We make use of the expertise of Dr. Ir. Rosihan
Rosman, M.Sc to provide knowledge to the expert system developed. The processing input for the
expert system comes in two formats, i.e., fuzzy inputs and non-fuzzy inputs. Fuzzy Inference
System (FIS) with Mamdani method was first used as the inference method for the fuzzy output
followed by an application of non-fuzzy inputs.
The expert system provides ihree categories of evaluation, i.e., very suitable, suitable, and
unsuitable land cultivation for patchouli. Each category has specific land characteristics tied with
the evaluation. Furthermore, the expert system was assessed on sixteen different lands to verify
system accuracy. Assessment results present 75% accuracy when verified using human expert
assessment. | |
