14. PULSE EXPERT
 Devraj and Jain studied the design and development of an
expert system for the diagnosis and control of diseases in
pulse crops (PulseExpert).
 PulseExpert is an operational automatic diagnostic tool that
helps farmers and extension workers to identify diseases of
major pulse crops viz., Chickpea, Pigeonpea, Mungbean and
Urdbean (highly consumed pulse crops) and suggests the
appropriate control measures.

with percentage 74%,
 Powdery mildew with percentage 94%. Also, the system is
capable of deciding the normal leaves with a percentage 98%.
