Synopsis Agro-informatics is the application in agriculture with innovative ideas, techniques and scientific knowledge to expand the horizons of the computer science.

The book contains the details about the information technology applied to management and analysis of agricultural data. The book covers the diverse areas ranging from artificial intelligence, artificial neural networks, decision support system, expert system, geographic information system, information system related to agriculture, genetic algorithm, programming language with backend tool to develop softwares. The book contains fifteen chapters that highlight and discuss the various dimensions of agro-informatics. It is hoped that the book will provide the basic and fundamental knowledge of understanding the concepts of bioinformatics.

This book is prepared, taking into consideration the changing needs of the undergraduate curricula of various universities involved in offering courses on agro-informatics. The book will also be a guide for the researchers. The book would also provide the required computer knowledge to the students of state agricultural universities and other ICAR institutions to sharpen their understanding of agro-informatics.
