1. Introduction
Farmers need agricultural information and pertinent knowledge to make knowledgeable decisions and to satisfy
informational needs. In agriculture domain through the development of a knowledge management system, enquiries
of farmers can be answered with the help of multimedia which is easily accessible.
The application of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has proven for widening the opportunities to
promote agriculture on several aspects and domains in developing countries. Technology has crossed hurdles by using
wireless technology, networking, mobile etc. to overcome the utilisation of energy, power and cost consuming
equipments which was helpful in the agricultural development. The development of ICT in various domains has driven
substantial interest in rising investments by private sectors towards the growth of ICT in Agricultural research
(Fredrick Awuor et al., 2013).
At present, the key issue in the current domain is utilisation of resources like man-power and water which is lacking
in many parts of the country. There have not been any significant technological advancements being made in
agricultural sector as compared to other sectors. Agricultural system needs to be monitored on a regular basis. The use
of the developed framework is to reduce wastage by automating the entire agricultural system.
