In many research investigations of agricultural solutions, analyses of spatial and temporal variability in soil and yield data are performed with help from commercial software. However, it is difficult to handle and share such data as well as maintain such software, which requires an ongoing investment. In Malaysia, there is yet to be literature presented on farming data management. Some researchers in other countries have developed web based software that may be include costly and yearly renewal charges.

INFORMATION OF RESEARCH PRODUCT The invention provides information for precision farming techniques and for visualization of maps such as fertilizer map, soil series and so in a web environment. This Web Paddy GIS system was developed based on the integration of several open source software (GIS and non- GIS software) such as MapGuide Open SourceTM, MapGuide MaestroTM, PHPTM, MySQLTM, and ApacherTM. The output of the system consists of text and graphic information and maps with different themes such as fertilizer map, yield map, soil series map, boundary map, lot and point sampling maps.

23 These maps provide good visualization of the output information. This is a novel system that can help users access the information and visualize the map. End users can access the information easily and share their knowledge and experience through the online forum. This invention can help the users especially farmers, farm managers and also assist the policy makers for future planning.

ADVANTAGES OF PRODUCT Provide the precision farming technique in a web- based environment. Visualize the maps online. Provide the medium for user to communicate to each other through the forum. Provide maps of precision fertilizer recommendation at specific location to the farmers.
