Management of Agricultural Data Using Qualitative and Statistical Modelling

The increasing complexity of agricultural data and their management, in finding solutions for certain farmer's problems, requires adequate tools. Fortunately, developments in computer technology continually expand the possibilities in agricultural data analysis and processing. In this study, we tackle some of the important issues in agricultural data management and processing, using an integration of statistical tools and qualitative modelling techniques, in order to describe the complex structure of agricultural processes running in a specific cattle's breed scheme. Specific methodologies were used to make more efficient use of data collected by providing a means of effectively analyzing data. The implementation of the proposed approach is based mainly upon the use of objectoriented and visual development tools applied into the creation of an interactive and friendly computer environment for agricultural data management, where various data manipulation and analysis techniques, as well as experimentation and further research in a cooperation with the farmer, can easily be contacted. The application system seems to be a very useful tool in organizing the information regarding agriculture, by providing important utilities offered by the new technology in the field of agriculture.
