What are the uses of information technology in the world of agriculture?
our country is an agrarian country, and at present technology is something that is very much needed, even inseparable from human life today.
what are the uses of technology in our agriculture?
It can be be used to determine the nature of the soil and data will be collected vary to different season to know which crop to be grown at one particular point point in time and how it can be managed.

This question actually made me smile because I was thinking about it about a week ago so I guess I can answer it well. Agriculture is that field of life (pun intended) that seems the least bit involved with technology but in truth is as intertwined with it as things like phones and cars.
Let's have a look
1) bio engineering and genetics: many of the crops that we see now are very much different from what they originally used to be when they grew wild. Some of them had so little edible parts that it would take a hundred to fill a grown man. Crops like corn have been cultured and engineered to become what they are today. And that's thanks to technological advances.
2) cultivation of bacteria : a bacteria called Bacillus Thuringiensis serves as a reservoir and it makes crops insect resistant. And this in turn allows the crops to grow without disturbance from pests.
3) drought resistance: it is possible to grow crops in the desert now. This is something that would have seemed next to impossible a few decades ago. But it is possible because with technology, man has been able to produce crops that are capable of resisting drought and growing even in the most arid of regions. And even if they weren't drought resistant, there's irrigation methods now that are better than ever so let's say options are plenty.
3) machines: with machines, man is able to plough his fields faster and better, transport them quicker, store them better and generally speed up all processes on the farm.
Honestly I could keep on going but I think you get the point. Technology is as important to agriculture as it is to any other sector.

Manfaat yang dapat diperoleh dari kegiatan aplikasi teknologi informasi dan komunikasi (Mulyandari 2005), khususnya dalam mendukung pembangunan pertanian berkelanjutan adalah:
1. Mendorong terbentuknya jaringan informasi pertanian di tingkat lokal dan nasional.
2. Membuka akses petani terhadap informasi pertanian untuk: 1) meningkatkan peluang-peluang pendapatan dan cara pencapaiannya; 2) Meningkatkan kemampuan petani dalam meningkatkan posisi tawarnya, dan 3) Meningkatkan kemampuan petani dalam melakukan diversifikasi usahatani dan merelasikan komoditas yang diusahakannya dengan input yang tersedia, jumlah produksi yang diperlukan dan kemampuan pasar yang sehat output.
3. Mendorong terlaksananya kegiatan pengembangan, pengelolaan dan pemanfaatan informasi secara langsung maupun tidak langsung untuk mendukung pengembangan pertanian lahan marjinal.
4. Memfasilitasi dokumentasi informasi pertanian di tingkat lokal (pengetahuan indigeneous) yang dapat digunakan secara luas untuk mendukung pengembangan pertanian lahan marjinal.
Teknologi Informasi Komunikasi adalah faktor yang sangat penting dalam mendukung peningkatan kualitas sumber daya manusia. Teknologi informasi memiliki tiga peran pokok:
Instrumen-instrumen dalam proses pengembangan, yaitu dengan memberikan informasi tentang manajemen dan pelayanan kepada masyarakat.
Produk dan jasa teknologi informasi merupakan komponen yang memberikan manfaat terbaik bagi dunia, bahkan dunia dalam bentuk produk dan industri telekomunikasi.
Teknologi informasi dapat menjadi perekat persatuan dan kesatuan, sistem pengembangan informasi yang menghubungkan semua wilayah dan seluruh wilayah nusantara.
Kesadaran Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi yang disebut ICT (Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi), tidak hanya monopoli yang besar tetapi juga bertumbuh di kalangan pengusaha kecil dan kekuatan-kekuatan masyarakat, seperti Koperasi, Kelompok Tani, dan Masyarakat biasa. Fungsionalitas penting dalam pengembangan bisnis, kelembagaan, dan juga mampu mendorong percepatan kegiatan ekonomi dan taraf hidup masyarakat.
