Description
Summary:Mango cultivar Harumanis is one of the best table tropical fruit due to its aroma and sweetness. Despite its overwhelming local demand in Malaysia and also internationally, the fruit supply never meets the demand. The flowering phase is identified as an important stage as plant reproductive physiology. Currently, Harumanis mango flowering only happens once a year and this restricts the yield of this particular mango. In this paper, a model is introduced that address the a biotic factors that induce flowering in mango. Next the model is implemented in agent-based decision support system. The system could be used to support the farmers in decision making, monitoring and controlling the mango trees environment in greenhouse. The greenhouse environment controlled to suit the requirements that are condusive for the Harumanis mango trees flower initiation.
