FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of each item in the agrochemical database 2.
As shown in the figure, the agrochemical database 2 is a database having data such as target crops, uses, usage methods, allowable number of times of use, and dilution factor for each agricultural chemical product. Here, the target crop is, for example, information on crop names such as rice, vegetables, apples, and peaches. When is a herbicide, it is an item indicating the application of the pesticide, such as the name of the applicable weed. That is, in these items of target crops and uses, when the product corresponds to a plurality of target crops and uses, all information is stored. The usage method is an item indicating the allowable usage amount per area. Furthermore, the allowable number of uses is the total number of uses for the crop, and information corresponding to the target crop and application is stored in these items. The dilution factor indicates this value in the case of an agrochemical for which a dilution factor has been set in advance. The agricultural chemical database 2 is the same as a known database.

Returning to FIG. 1, the component database 3 is a database indicating data such as target crops, uses, usage methods, allowable number of times of use, and dilution factor for each component, and the component configuration database 4 indicates components contained in each agricultural chemical. It is a database.
FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of the component database 3.
As shown in the figure, the component database 3 is a database having data such as target crops, uses, usage methods, allowable number of uses, and dilution factor for each component of the agricultural chemical. Here, the details of each item are the same as the items of the agrochemical database 2, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of the component configuration database 4.
As shown in FIG. 4, the component configuration database 4 is a database indicating the components included in each product. For example, the product A includes component x and component y as its component configuration, and the product B includes component x and The component structure for each product is shown as including the component z.

  When given pesticide application information is given from the input unit 1, the usage amount management unit 5 acquires the component composition information of the pesticide from the component structure database 4, and permits the permissible component from the component database 3. It is a functional unit that obtains the value of the number of uses and determines whether each component contained in the pesticide exceeds the allowable number of uses. The management information storage unit 6 is a storage unit for storing each management information input from the input unit 1. The display unit 7 is a display unit for displaying the processing contents and processing results of the usage amount management unit 5.

  The agricultural chemical database 2 to the component configuration database 4 and the management information storage unit 6 are realized on a storage device such as a hard disk device, for example, and the usage amount management unit 5 is software corresponding to the management content and for executing this It is realized by hardware such as CPU and memory. The display unit 7 is configured by a display device such as a CRT or a liquid crystal display.

Next, the operation will be described.
First, as management information, a user inputs management information such as a user name, a crop name, and a position and area of a field from the input unit 1. The usage amount management unit 5 creates management information for each crop based on such information input, and stores this in the management information storage unit 6. In addition, the management information includes an item of the total number of times of use corresponding to each component of the agricultural chemical and the target crop.
After such work, when the user sprays agricultural chemicals, if the necessary spraying information is given to the agricultural chemical spray management device, the agricultural chemical spray management device is based on the management information stored in advance as shown below. , Display the management information results.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the operation.
First, pesticide application information is input from the input unit 1 by the user (step ST101). Thereby, the usage amount management unit 5 reads management information registered in advance from the management information storage unit 6 (step ST102). Next, the usage amount management unit 5 accesses the component configuration database 4 and acquires component configuration information corresponding to the agricultural chemicals (product name) in the input application information (step ST103). Here, when the agricultural chemical input in step ST101 is, for example, product A, in step ST103, information on the component configuration of product name A (component x, component y) is acquired. Then, the usage amount management unit 5 updates the management information read from the management information storage unit 6 based on the component configuration information acquired in step ST103 (step ST104). In the case of the above example, the total number of uses for each component x and component y in the management information is updated. Further, the usage amount management unit 5 accesses the component database 3 based on the component configuration information acquired in step ST103, and acquires the value of the allowable number of times of use corresponding to the component (step ST105).

Next, the usage amount management unit 5 determines, for each target crop, whether the total usage count of each component in the updated management information has reached the allowable usage count acquired in step ST105 (step ST106). That is, in the case of the above example, the total number of uses of component x and component y is compared with the allowable number of uses for each target crop. In this step ST106, when the number of times of use of each component of the updated pesticide is less than the allowable number of times of use in each target crop, management information is simply displayed (step ST107), and the process ends. On the other hand, in step ST106, when any component has reached the allowable number of times of use, the management information is displayed and, for example, “Product A and Product B to be spread on crop X have reached the number of times of use”. An agrochemical name warning message is displayed (step ST108), and the process ends. For example, for the crop X, when the component x has reached the allowable number of times of use, the component x is also included in the product B, so that the product B cannot be used.
By presenting such a warning message, the user can know that not only the product A but also the product B containing similar components has reached the number of uses in the crop.

  As described above, according to the agricultural chemical spray management apparatus of the first embodiment, for each component of the agricultural chemical, the target crop, the use, and the component database having information on the allowable number of times of use for the target crop, and included in each agricultural chemical Ingredient composition database that shows the ingredients to be collected and optional pesticide application information, information on ingredients for pesticides is obtained from the ingredient composition database, and based on the data on the allowable number of use of the ingredient database for the obtained ingredients And a usage control unit that determines whether each component of the pesticide has reached the allowable number of times of use. The burden on the user in the management of agricultural chemicals can be reduced, such as being able to prevent overuse.

  In addition, according to the agricultural chemical spray management program of the first embodiment, for each component of the agricultural chemical, the target database, the component database having information on the usage and the allowable number of times of use of the target crop, and the components included in each agricultural chemical Based on the data on the allowable number of times of use of the component database for the acquired component from the component configuration database when any pesticide application information is given to the computer equipped with the component configuration database shown Because it is configured to function as a usage control unit that determines whether each component of the agricultural chemical has reached the allowable number of times of use, it can flexibly cope with changes in the agricultural chemical to be sprayed, and the burden on the user in agricultural chemical management It is possible to make the computer function so that it can be reduced.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
In the second embodiment, it is determined whether the total usage amount of each component for each crop has reached a predetermined allowable usage amount. Since the configuration of the second embodiment on the drawing is the same as that of the first embodiment, it will be described with reference to FIGS. The usage amount management unit 5 of the second embodiment determines whether the total usage amount has reached the allowable usage amount based on the field area and the actual application amount that are input in advance for each component of the same crop. It is configured. Since the other configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted here.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the second embodiment.
First, pesticide application information is input from the input unit 1 by the user (step ST201). Thereby, the usage amount management unit 5 reads management information registered in advance from the management information storage unit 6 (step ST202). Next, the usage amount management unit 5 accesses the component configuration database 4 and acquires component configuration information corresponding to the agricultural chemicals (products) in the input application information (step ST203). Here, when the agricultural chemical input in step ST201 is, for example, product A, in step ST203, information on the component configuration of product name A (component x, component y) is acquired. Then, the usage amount management unit 5 updates the management information read from the management information storage unit 6 based on the component configuration information acquired in step ST203 (step ST204). In the case of the above example, the total usage amount for each component x and component y in the management information is updated. Also, the usage amount management unit 5 accesses the component database 3 based on the component configuration information acquired in step ST103, and acquires information on the usage method corresponding to the component (step ST205).

Next, the usage amount management unit 5 determines whether the total usage amount of each component in the updated management information satisfies the usage method conditions acquired in step ST205 for each target crop, that is, allowable usage per area. It is determined whether the amount has been reached (step ST206). For example, in the case of the above example, the total use amount of component x and component y is compared with the allowable use amount for each target crop. In this step ST206, when the usage amount of each component of the updated agricultural chemical is less than the allowable usage amount in each target crop, the management information is simply displayed (step ST207), and the processing is terminated. On the other hand, in step ST206, when any component has reached the allowable usage amount, the management information is displayed and, for example, “Product A and Product B sprayed on crop X have reached the allowable usage amount”. A warning message for the name of the agricultural chemical is displayed (step ST208), and the process ends. For example, for the crop X, when the component x has reached the allowable usage amount, the component x is also included in the product B, and therefore cannot be used for the product B.
By presenting such a warning message, the user can know that not only the product A but also the product B containing the same component has reached the allowable use amount in the crop.

  As described above, according to the agricultural chemical spray management apparatus of the second embodiment, the component database has information on the allowable usage amount per predetermined area as information indicating the usage method of the agricultural chemical, and the usage amount management unit includes: Based on the input of the pesticide spraying area and spraying amount, calculate the spraying amount per predetermined area for each component, and determine whether the spraying amount for each component reaches the allowable usage per predetermined area Since it did in this way, since not only management of the frequency | count of use for every component but management of usage-amount is also performed, the exact usage method can also be provided with respect to a user.

Embodiment 3 FIG.
In the third embodiment, when there is a product in which any of the components reaches the allowable use amount, another product whose use matches the target crop is output as a candidate. Since the configuration of the third embodiment on the drawing is the same as that of the first embodiment, it will be described with reference to FIGS. The usage amount management unit 5 according to the third embodiment has a function for determining the allowable number of times of use in the usage amount management unit 5 according to the first embodiment, and when any of the components has reached the allowable number of times as a result of the determination. Is configured to access the agrochemical database 2 and extract other products having the same usage as the target crop and output them as alternative candidates. Since the other configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted here.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation of the third embodiment.
Here, the operations of step ST301 to step ST307 are the same as step ST101 to step ST107 of FIG. 5 in the first embodiment, and thus description thereof is omitted here. In step ST308, the usage amount management unit 5 performs the following processing. That is, as a result of the determination in step ST306, if any of the components has reached the allowable use count, the agrochemical database 2 is accessed, and another product whose target crop and use match is extracted. Then, among these extracted products, a product that does not include a component that has reached the allowable number of times is output as an alternative candidate to the display unit 7, and the display unit 7 displays this together with the management information.

For example, when the product A is used as the information on the agricultural chemicals spread, and the component x contained in the product A has reached the allowable number of times of use, the product C matches the target crop and application, and the component x Product C is displayed as a candidate.
By presenting such alternative candidates, the user can know that the product A cannot be used in the crop, but the product C having a similar application can be used.

  As described above, according to the third embodiment, when there is an agrochemical in which any of the components has reached the allowable number of uses, the usage amount management unit has another application whose use matches the target crop for the agricultural chemical. Since pesticides are output as alternative candidates, it is possible to prevent the use of pesticides with overlapping ingredients exceeding the allowable number of times, and to provide alternative candidates for pesticides that have reached the number of uses. Therefore, the burden on the user in agricultural chemical management can be further reduced.

  In the first and second embodiments, the warning message is output when the allowable usage count or the allowable usage amount is reached, but it is not a determination as to whether the allowable usage count or the allowable usage amount has been reached. For example, a value close to the allowable usage count or the allowable usage amount, such as the remaining one, may be determined as the threshold value. For example, in Embodiment 1, if the usage amount management unit is configured to output, as a warning message, an agrochemical in which any component is a predetermined remaining number of times with respect to the allowable number of times of use, for the user Information that can be used as a guide for pesticide management can also be provided.

  Further, instead of determining whether the allowable usage count or the allowable usage amount has been reached, the remaining usable frequency for the allowable usage count or the remaining usable amount for the allowable usage amount may be output. That is, in this case, for example, in the case of the first embodiment, when the usage amount management unit 5 obtains the allowable usage number in step ST105, the usage amount management unit 5 calculates the remaining usage number with respect to the allowable usage number and In addition, the remaining number of uses for these pesticides is output, including other pesticides that have similar ingredients and have the same usage as the target crop. In this way, if the usage amount management unit 5 is configured to calculate the remaining number of times for each permitted use of each component of the sprayed pesticide and to output the remaining number of times the pesticide is used, the pesticide management for the user is achieved. Information that can be used as a guide can also be provided.

  Further, in the third embodiment, instead of the case where the allowable number of uses has been reached, a value close to the allowable number of uses may be determined as the threshold value. Further, in each of the above embodiments, when the target agricultural chemical has not reached the allowable use number or the allowable use amount, the management information is simply displayed. You may make it display the message that the pesticide is satisfying the conditions of allowable use frequency or usage method.
