The accurate analysis of pests and diseases of the chili
plants can determine the right solution to reduce the production
failure of plants. But the number of horticulture experts who can
help to diagnose pests and diseases of the chili plants is still
limited. The expert system is built with the aim to help
diagnosing pests and diseases of the chili plant. This expert
system extracts expert’s knowledge by using inference engine.
The inference engine used is the Forward Chaining, which works
by analyzing symptoms to achieve a demanded conclusion. The
incompleteness of the experts’ domain knowledge and the
difference of the expert sources or the incompleteness of
information provided by the expert system users, can lead into
uncertain result of the expert system. The application of
Certainty Factors in Expert System is able to anticipate
Uncertainty from the Expert System result. The result presented
by the expert system is in the form disease names, the definition,
the solution and the certainty value from conclusion.
