Concept of a System of Plant Protection Support Based on the ERP System

Abstract

The paper presents a concept of utilising existing IT systems supporting shops supplying plant protection products to farmers in order to assist chemical protection of plants. The method implies use of sales alerts to generate messages intended for agricultural producers. The system created on this basis may supplement the existing systems signalling threats from pests. Implementation of the proposed solution does not require high financial outlay providing at the same time the possibility of reaching a large number of recipients, also at small farms. A disadvantage of the proposed solution is its lower effectiveness compared with the advanced warning systems.
