Abstract

The primary purpose of this research is to look at the potential of technology norms and practices in a variety of agricultural resource management systems. By identifying creative IT application implementation, the research also gives an overview of how to overcome rising hurdles in adopting information and communication technology. This article emphasizes some of the noteworthy findings of a study conducted on most farmers, which revealed that most farmers use ICT devices such as multi-SIM mobile phones, smart phones, and tablets. Cell phones and smart phones are the most generally accepted and utilized ICTs, having helped farmers become more socially engaged. Many agriculture-friendly mobile apps are as well assisting farmers in appreciating the relevance of technology. They can contact middlemen for marketing purposes and immediately contact field specialists in real time for guidance on preserving the quality of inputs/outputs, controlling insect/pest, and managing crop diseases, among others. The antagonism toward technology and the hesitancy to adopt new things and their possible impacts on the reorganization of extension services are essential obstacles to actively integrating ICT.
