Resumen

Bringing innovation to the agricultural sector contributes to the strengthening of technological culture and civilization. Therefore, the objective of this study was to design and evaluate the Tarpuy mobile application model, based on artificial intelligence, to enhance decision-making in the diagnosis and control of diseases in coffee crops, in the community of Viza. The study adopted a mixed approach, with a quasi-experimental design. The sample was made up of 108 farmers, surveys and interviews were applied to determine the cultural relationship and technological perception in farmers. The results in the pre-test, regarding the recognition of the borer and yellow rust were 15% and 25% respectively, while the self-management of the treatment reached 35%, the dependence on professional help reached 70% and the use of mobile applications 2%. After the implementation of Tarpuy, these indicators in the postest were modified, showing significant improvements; thus, the recognition of the drill bit increased to 75%, the yellow rust 88%, the self-management of the treatment 68%, and professional help decreased to 10%, use of mobile applications reached 100%. The hypothesis testing confirmed that the Tarpuy application has a significant influence on coffee disease management.
