INFORMATION FOR APPLICANT

| Brief Description of Assignment |
: |
The services, among others, include the following:
The proposed Decision Support System (DSS) should be unique. It should automate the process of generation of weather based, crop specific advisories which should be customized and localized to macro and micro agro-climates. Multiple data streams should be processed in a web platform and combined with scientific information related to crop growth, development and response to varying weather & climatic conditions to determine the possible agri-management practices such as crop irrigation management, nutrient requirements, pest and disease occurrence & management etc. The DSS should automate the process of generating dynamic (parameter driven), weather and-locale specific agrometeorological advisories which should be generated in both regional (Bangali) as well as in English language.
The proposed DSS should be having four major structural components:
? The graphical interface facilitates user to configure selected crop(s) to the desired location, provide/edit input data, access the locale specific dynamic weather database and run the logical inference engine to get best suitable advisories in the given situation which are displayed in a user-friendly manner.
? The dynamic weather database stores the location specific daily observed weather and weather forecasts received from Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD).
? Build data base on crops, soils, pests, diseases to develop logical weather forecast & climate information-based advisories.
? Building the knowledge base should be the core component of the DSS as it should store and provide data, knowledge, crop library, methods and logical rules for selection of appropriate agricultural practices to be carried out in the given crop growth stage and weather condition.
? The logical inference engine is nothing but the various computer programs written for mathematical computing and assessing logical inference rules/queries while providing best suited advisories. The inference engine through its various programs, mathematical and logical tools maneuver the knowledge base and dynamic weather database to provide practical guidance for agricultural operations.
These four structural components should be interconnected and provide as a web platform for decision support system.
