- Abstract
In today's competitive world "quality information" is the key word to success and information and communication technologies (ICT) is used to disseminate the right information at the right time in every sector of public domain. As ICT is potent tool in various sector and agriculture is no exception. At present large-scale investments are being made to enhance the potential of the ICT in Indian agriculture sector. The National Informatics Centre (NIC), central government agriculture ministry, ICAR, department of agriculture and cooperation, state agriculture departments, state/central universities, research institutes, Public and Private-Sector, NGOs etc. have developed some expert systems, simulation & modeling, DSS, MIS, data mining & data warehousing technique, agricultural information system, agricultural information websites and the application of GIS, GPS, RS etc. and are used in agriculture sector for wheat crop management. However, utilization of ICT in agriculture sector is not equally good as compare to industry and service sector because ICT tools and databases are independent and unilateral. None of them are comprehensive and all differ in coverage (often overlapping), solving problems, semantic organization, being up-to-date, quantity and quality of the information they provide. Only very few information systems share and exchange data among themselves. The modern features like graphics, photos and video clippings of information are also used in agriculture but they can not disseminate instantly by general network system and supported ordinary ICT tools. Therefore, overload of irrelevant, inaccurate and obsolete information is as much a problem as information scarcity. The modern distributed network-computing technologies can be used to solve this problem, by combining these virtually without any physical centralization. This paper proposed a distributed ICT model for wheat crop management which minimizes duplication in information storage and improves flow, quality and quantity of information provided to wheat crop farmers and scientists.
