Abstract
Prefectural standards for agricultural pest control (PSAPC) provide important information for operational pest management. The negative impact of erroneous PSAPC is potentially very large. The right PSAPC require considerable labor. Therefore, this paper proposes a method of making PSAPC by using Nouyaku-Navi (Navigation system for appropriate pesticide use). The crop name and the product's active ingredient are specified. The input data is assessed by the Nouyaku-Navi judgment server. It is possible to extract all the pesticides of the same group from different manufacturers by specifying the active ingredient. The system handles the different pesticide use rules of each product. When a judgment result is appropriate, the result is stored in XML format. An appropriate XSL stylesheet is applied to this XML file, which results in information being displayed in almost the same style as PSAPC. The results formatted with the stylesheets can be used as a manuscript or as confirmation material for PSAPC. It was clarified that the support system was effective for making PSAPC promptly and correctly.
