I. INTRODUCTION

This literature review describes the use and applications of Database Management Systems (DBMS) in the Agriculture field. Agriculture is one of the oldest industries in the world. All of the countries in the world have many kinds of agriculture sectors. With development of technology, every industry in the world adapts to use technological support to develop their industries. The agriculture field was also developed with Information Technology.
Agriculture can describe in many ways, such as plants and animals sustain humans worldwide by providing food and other agricultural products. Different properties are also used to define specific agricultural forms, such as soil type, frequency of cultivation, and major crops or animals.
Agriculture is limited to crop cultivation, and except for domestication, it generally implies both activities. The word “agriculture” derives from the Latin ager (field) and colo (cultivate), signifying, when combined, the Latin agriculture: field or land tillage (Harris & Fuller, 2014). Agricultural Sector can be divided into four sub-sectors, namely: Crops, Livestock (both production and animal health), Fisheries and Aquaculture (including capture fisheries), and Forestry(World Bank, 2007).
Agriculture is the main point of the economy of lots of countries and contributes to the development of the economy. In addition, it guides the process of economic prosperity in developed countries (Hindawi, 2018). Several research studies have concluded that about 70% of the world’s agriculture receives freshwater, and the total irrigated land area is declining due to the rapid increase in food demand and global warming (Hindawi, 2018).
