KABUKIRAN: An Agricultural Farming Chat Bot Assistant Using a Machine-learning

Embedded Mobile Application
Philippines is known for its agricultural capabilities and for being one of the main
fruit and vegetable commodities in both production and hectarage. In accordance with
TRADING ECONOMICS (2022), exports in the Philippines is accountable for nearly a third
of gross domestic product. Moreover, Philippines is also the largest agricultural producers of
certain vegetable and fruits specifically coconut, rice, pineapple, abaca, mango, and more
varieties. However in the country, farming is in the verge of loss due to being signified and
justified as underrated, making the local farmers thrive for their production without ease and
efficiency. Furthermore, farmers are only relying on or their own and without any or little
assistance from the emergence of technology and modernization itself. Technology advances
all throughout the years, and with the invention of smartphones, applications are the most
efficient way to provide convenience to its users. These can easily be downloaded through
mobile and used for different purposes. With just one click, you can easily get the service
you need. These techniques of artificial intelligence have been adopted by agriculturists to
tackle situations for easier human workforce.
The current KABUKIRAN project will focus on assisting and to uplift local Filipino
farmers on their high quality agricultural production in the brink of crop loss. Providing an
efficient, accessible yet cost effective chat bot system solely providing guidance for a
productive farming with the use of Machine Learning. The said mobile application or
KABUKIRAN will answer queries, give information on the how’s, what’s, when’s. The
applications mechanism will be in 3 folds, it will be composed of 3 major systems such as the
Pre farming operation, During farming operation, and the post farming operation. In the pre
farming operation, it will focus on the identification and detection of a specific seedling of a
certain fruit or vegetable by just taking a photo of it then be processed on the machine
learning itself. After the detection of the seedling, a certain direction and information will pop
out and be given the chat bot on about how it will be planted. Next will be the during farming
operations where it will identify certain weeds on the parameter of the crop. It will also
classify and identify the diseases and deficiencies on either the leaves, stem, or on the actual
produced fruit and vegetables. The chat bot system in this part will provide preventions, tips
on a much efficient farming and more. And lastly the post farming operation wherein it will
classify and detect whether the produced fruit or vegetable is in a condition for selling and if
it is good in quality. This will be accompanied by the chat bot system by means of
specifically giving information and reasons why it is sellable and in good quality.
KABUKIRAN will be a good step to take, to assist and help local Filipino farmers
when it comes to a more efficient farming towards better food production and harvest—
through providing easy access to guidance, assistance, and information for a healthy crop
yield.
