%X Vrikshayurveda (An ancient Indian science of plant life) includes complete plant-life knowledge compendium of plant physiology, horticulture, pathology, and treatment. Though translation of the manuscript is available, the knowledge contained in the translation is not easily accessible to ordinary farmers who want answers to their specific problems or researchers who want references for specific topics without having to read the complete book. This research work proposes to convert the knowledge in the manuscript form to an expert system form which can provide the solutions to specific queries from the farmers and agriculture stakeholders. A rule based expert system using backward chaining Expert System is developed. The database in this design has ten diseases. The evaluation is done for all the dataset. The results are compatible with the expert's diagnosis. Thus the users can get comprehensive information on Vriksha-Ayurvedic expertise on all elements of disease and plant protection.
