Poster Sessions. aThe goal of this paper is to give an overview of a general problem-solving framework for diagnosis, investigation and treatment tasks, that incorporates concepts of abductive inference, fuzzy set logic and decision theory. In this work we focus on the use of this framework in agriculture, with an illustration in corn plantations. The general framework models time durations and intensity of manifestations as fuzzy sets, and, in the particular case of agriculture, it takes into account the favorable conditions for the development of a given disorder and the severity of its manifestations to recommend a treatment, together with other important factors such as risk and cost. aAgriculture aFuzzy logic aAgricultura aAbductive inference aDecision theory aDiagnosis aFuzzy sets aLógica difusa1 aSANDRI, S.1 aWAINER, J.1 aMORANDI, M.
