Design of Information System and Database Management for Pests and Diseases Management

Abstract

The agriculture industry in Indonesia will continue to be the country’s economy in 2021. Agriculture became a priority in several countries and evolved into one of the businesses capable of supporting the economy. Pesticide is a vital component and has become extensively used in modern agriculture, but with pesticides, especially synthetic chemicals, one must have better control. Most farmers still don’t have awareness of the dangers of overuse of pesticides on the environment which can cause greater problems. The farmers also have limitations to access information because there is no integrated information. The research was conducted with the System Development Life-Cycle (SDLC) method to come up with the solution, carried out up to the recommended system design stage. The solution provided recommendations for the use of pesticides that are by pests and diseases experienced. Based on this stage it is known that there are 13 databases needed in creating pest and disease management applications. The implication of this research is to help farmers by reducing costs through the control of pesticide usage and providing integrated information on pests and diseases through the development of new features in Agree Application.
