This paper proposes a web-based Agro-Information System (AIS) prototype that can support farmers with agricultural-related information about a given food crop. Consistency in the application of this information can help in improving crop yield, in controlling crop pests, in crop diseases treatment, and in enhancing the overall crop productivity. A prototype AIS capable of providing possible pest control, and suggesting disease treatment for the associated pathogens, has been developed and implemented using Open-source technologies.
