Abstract
Red chili peppers (Capsicum annuum L.) plants classified as fruit and vegetables spices (herbs), that almost all people consume it for everyday purposes. Not only used for household consumption, but also used in various industries as a raw material. Utilization as raw materials in various industry makes red chili as vegetable crops of high economic value and has a great prospect. But its diseases are complex enough for causing farmers hard to diagnose and resulted in reduced production levels. One solution to this problem is the establishment of an expert system that can help farmers to diagnose major diseases of red pepper plant in a practical and accurate. The purpose of this research is to make the application of expert systems for diagnosing diseases of red chili. This application uses forward chaining to diagnose disease and calculate the value of possibilities with Certainty Factor. This method is to prove whether a fact that certainly would not have been shaped or metrics that are typically used in an expert system. This method is suitable for expert systems to diagnose something uncertain. Certainty Factor expressed confidence in an event or factual hypothesis based on evidence or expert judgment. The results of research is in the form of an expert system application that can diagnose diseases of red pepper plants with enough accuracy and can help in overcoming the problem of crop failure. Based on the data taken from tests performed in this study, the system can diagnose red chili plant disease with high accuracy.

Summary
1.1 BackgroundRed chili peppers is one of the strategic commodities in the horticultural sector that the production need to be increased. Diseases that attack red pepper plants are quite complex, with symptoms of quite a lot of disease and some diseases that have the same symptoms, handling and control of chili diseases that has not been correct, causing farmers difficult to diagnosing red pepper disease and resulted in reduced production level [1,2]. The establishment of expert systems diagnosis of red pepper disease into one of the farmers solution to control the disease that occurs in red chili plants. Based on the problem to overcome the disease of red pepper plants, it is necessary to build a computerized system that has knowledge such as botanical experts and the system can be a tool in diagnosing the type of disease and provide solutions how to handle and control. Expert System is one area of knowledge that can be a tool in overcoming the problem
