The main role of information technology in modern agricultural production is illustrated with examples.

Examples illustrate the main functions of information technology in modern agricultural production as follows:

1, intelligent planting

By means of information technology, the planting process is digitally monitored and regulated, so that the crop growth environment can be optimally regulated, thus improving crop yield and quality.

For example, through high-precision soil analysis and environmental detection data analysis, farmers can better grasp the land ecological environment and crop growth, thus adjusting agricultural management behaviors such as irrigation and fertilization, and increasing grain output.

2. Intelligent agriculture

Information technology can be applied not only to crop planting, but also to the development of animal husbandry. By monitoring conditions such as temperature and humidity and reasonably adjusting air and water quality, the survival rate and growth rate of animals can be improved. In the aspect of breeding specialization, information technology can help farms realize intelligent management and fine breeding of animals, thus improving the efficiency of the whole breeding industry.

3. E-commerce agriculture

With the popularity of e-commerce, agricultural production has gradually changed to networking. E-commerce of agricultural products enables consumers to buy agricultural products directly, which not only facilitates consumers, but also improves the quality of life of farmers and achieves mutual benefit and win-win results.

Through the e-commerce platform, farmers can directly sell their own products and provide consumers with safer and more assured products while gaining benefits.

Development trend:

The remarkable achievements in the popularization and application of information technology have prompted countries all over the world to devote themselves to informatization construction, and the huge demand for informatization has promoted the rapid development of information technology. At present, the general trend of information technology development is to pay attention to the development and application of internet technology, from the typical technology-driven development model to the combination of technology-driven and application-driven model.

Microelectronics technology and software technology are the core of information technology. The integration, computing power and cost performance of integrated circuits continue to increase geometrically at the rate of doubling every 18 months, which supports the information technology to reach an unprecedented level.

Each chip contains hundreds of millions of components, forming a system on a single chip, blurring the boundary between the whole machine and components, greatly improving the function of information equipment, and promoting the development of the whole machine in the direction of light, small, thin and low power consumption. Software technology has changed from computer-centric to network-centric.
