Abstract:
Recently, the continuity of agricultural knowledge transfer has grown in importance because of a decrease in the number of agricultural workers. In agriculture, novice agricultural workers gain knowledge through on-site agricultural work. Therefore, on-site agricultural work is important for the transfer of knowledge in agriculture. This system targets the cultivation of potted plants and compares the user’s history of agricultural work and experts’ history of agricultural work. The system constructs the rules of the user’s failure habits and the plant pot communicates with the user based on these rules. This enables the user to obtain knowledge directly in on-site agricultural work.
