Fuzzy multi-criteria decision making for long cane pruning: a system for standard and complex vine configurations

Section I of this article presents the agronomic and technical purposes involved in vine pruning and the decision model used to simulate the pruner's reasoning (fuzzy multicriteria decision making). Section II describes the method used for the choice of the best aggregation operator. Section III describes the model decision which is used to make automatic decision on complex vine configurations. Section IV presents the results: the model was performed on training set made of 140 standard pruning cases, 69.4% of similarity were observed between the decision model and the expert
