据《日经产业新闻》最近报道,日本农林水产省农业环境技术研究所已制成对食用作物、蔬菜、果树及牧草、花、林木等大约1000种国内栽培的有用植物的病害诊断辅助系统.在日本已数据库化的已知有用植物病害约8000种,只要输入植物名称、症状、发病部位等,电子计算机就会指示出该特定病害及其对付办法. According to a recent report by Nikkei Industry News, Japan’s Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Research Institute of Agro-Environmental Technologies has developed a disease diagnostic support system for about 1,000 domestic cultivated useful plants such as food crops, vegetables, fruit trees, grasses, flowers and trees. About 8,000 known useful plant diseases have been databaseed in Japan. Simply input the plant name, symptom, disease site, etc., and the computer will indicate the specific disease and how to deal with it.
