Weeds e-Catalog as a Tool for Identification of Weeds in Plantation

Weeds are one of the organisms that interfere with plant growth. Information about the identity of weeds becomes very important on plantations. Although weeds data digitization has been done a lot, currently there is still not much weeds data information system can be accessed online. Weeds management is often dealt with weeds herbarium or weeds photographs. In an effort to provide a good information system for farmers, this research aims to create a database of various types of weeds and an information system that can be accessed online. The methodology for developing a weed catalog information system uses the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Weed samples in database were collected through systematic random sampling in the form of images and text. The result of this study is a Weeds Electronic Catalog or Weeds e-Catalog that can facilitate the information of weeds identity such as names, classifications, morphology, life cycles, and habitats of various types of weeds that grow on plantation land. Weeds e-Catalog can be used by plantation practitioners and farmers to make decisions in controlling weeds.
