In this paper an attempt has been made to review the research studies on application of data mining techniques in the field of agriculture. Some of the techniques, such asID3 algorithms, the k-means, the k nearest neighbour, artificial neural networks and support vector machines applied in the field of agriculture were presented. Data mining in application in agriculture is a relatively new approach for forecasting / predicting of agricultural crop/animal management. This article explores the applications of data mining techniques in the field of agriculture and allied sciences.
