Briefly describe the user types and characteristics of agricultural information system.

A: According to their nature, users of agricultural information systems can be divided into three categories: government departments, universities and scientific research units, and agricultural production units (including farmers).

Its characteristics are as follows:

Government management department: The tasks of these users are relatively clear and fixed. The basic requirement is to establish a large-scale agricultural information basic database first, which requires higher data standardization, data structure and accuracy. At the same time, it requires perfect network support, data sharing and information exchange functions, and is connected with office automation.

Colleges and research institutes: The task is uncertain, and the information demand is often determined according to the research demand, emphasizing the secondary development of the system, especially the realization of various professional models.

Agricultural production units (including farmers): the task is relatively simple and attaches great importance to practicality. These users require the system to have the functions of agricultural production technology consultation and agricultural economic information, such as soil suitability evaluation of various crops, rational fertilization guidance and so on. And directly serve the actual agricultural production. At the same time, the system is required to be simple and easy to operate, so as to reduce the system development cost.
