Abstract -  Corn plants are one of the plants that are easy to grow and relatively fast to get results but also a plant that is vulnerable to pests and diseases. The symptoms that arise require an expert or agricultural expert to be able to diagnose. Limited time and expert labor is one of the causes of delayed diagnosis, causing a decrease in farmers' yields. This is the basis for making this expert system by adopting knowledge from agricultural experts about the symptoms of corn disease using the Forward Chaining method. To support the research conducted, researchers used the Research and Development (R&D) research method and the design used the Object Oriented Programming (OOP) method using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Software is built using the PHP programming language, MySQL as a database, and Bootstrap as an interface design with a web-based system.

The process of identifying the ripeness level of cayenne peppers is an important step in cultivation and post-harvest handling. Dependence on the quality factors of farmers, such as visual diversity and differences in ripeness perception, results in subjective harvest outcomes. This manual process is also prone to inconsistent results, as humans have time limitations, fatigue, and sometimes lack concentration when sorting for long periods. To minimize these issues, technological intervention is needed to mechanically classify the ripeness level of cayenne peppers. This research aims to develop a classification model for the maturity level of cayenne pepper plants. This research proposes the use of the CNN method for feature extraction and KNN for data classification based on the features extracted by CNN. From the test scenarios carried out, the classification carried out by KNN based on CNN feature extraction got the best accuracy of 99.33%, while the CNN classification model got the best accuracy of 87.33%.

Conservation is about the balance of nature. Panlungan Village, located in Wonosalam Subdistrict, Jombang Regency, has natural potential in the form of abundant forests and springs. However, illegal logging in 1998 damaged Panlungan's forests, reducing the headwaters of the river and increasing the risk of natural disasters such as landslides. Awareness of the importance of forests as a source of oxygen and habitat for various species prompted the local community to form the Kepu Forest Farmer Group (KTH) which focuses on conserving and planting forests with native plants. The Mendiro Settlement spring in Panlungan Village is the main source of livelihood for the local community, but is under serious threat due to man-made environmental degradation. The Kepuh Forest Farmers Group (KTH) has played an active role in the sustainable management of springs since the 1990s, with a focus on protecting the environment and educating the community about the importance of forest ecosystem conservation. This research shows that active community participation in forest and spring conservation is essential to preserve natural resources in Panlungan village. By strengthening supervision of illegal logging activities, strengthening conservation programs, and raising awareness of the importance of maintaining forest ecosystems, we hope to ensure the survival of future generations and the preservation of clean water sources for the people of Panlungan Village.
