A Comprehensive Survey of Fuzzy Logic Utilization in Different Agricultural Sectors

Abstract

Fuzzy logic (FL) has emerged as a pivotal component within the realm of Expert Systems, demonstrating its efficacy in addressing real-life challenges that had previously eluded resolution. Its versatile applications span a multitude of domains, with this paper specifically delving into the successful utilization of fuzzy logic methods to tackle various agricultural issues. This comprehensive review explores instances where fuzzy logic has been seamlessly integrated into expert systems to provide innovative solutions within the field of agricultural sciences. The examined applications encompass a spectrum of challenges encountered in agriculture, showcasing the adaptability and effectiveness of fuzzy logic in addressing complex issues. This paper serves not only as an insightful examination of existing applications but also as a valuable contribution to the literature survey, laying the groundwork for future research endeavours. Particularly, it provides a foundational reference for those undertaking research aimed at developing expert systems tailored for specific crops in designated regions of our country. As a part of the broader landscape, this study acts as a cornerstone, offering a starting point for further investigations and advancements in the intersection of fuzzy logic and agricultural sciences.
