An Intelligent System for Predicting Thrips Tabaci Linde Pest Population Dynamics Allied To Cotton Crop
The agricultural sector in India is up against a series of problems when it comes to increasing crop productivity. A number of successful researches have been carried out to discover productive agricultural practices to improve crop cultivation but despite their efforts, productivity achieved by most of the farmers has not been in upper-bound level. The prime reason stated globally for crop loss is Insect pests. An efficient pest management technique can be devised if we could predict in advance the occurrences of peak activities of a given pest. Researchers are undertaken to understand the pest population dynamics by employing analytical and other techniques on pest surveillance data sets. In this paper, we present an intelligent system for pest prediction in cotton crop with the aid of the data obtained from College of Agriculture, Raichur, India. We make an effort to understand population dynamics of Thrips tabaci Linde (Thrips) pest on cotton (Gossypium Arboreum) crop using neural networks by analyzing pest surveillance data. The Multi-layer perceptron neural network with back-propagation training algorithm is utilized in the design of the presented intelligent system. The results show that neural network system can be able to give results with a very high degree of accuracy and is best suited to build a prediction system. With the aid of this pest prediction system, the farming communities get more beneficiaries in crop productivity.
