Abstract :Throughout the ages, safely preserving and transmitting data that have extraordinary importance for humanity has increased its importance with rapid advances in computer technology. Steganography stores hidden data within the files, which are unnoticed by third parties, so it provides secure transmission of data to the receiver. In this study, a steganography-based GUI design has been carried out, which ensures that the agricultural data is safely stored and communicated to the other party. We used LSB one-bit, two-bit, three-bit substitution and PVD algorithms with GUI for stages of agricultural data hiding and extracting at cover images. We also provided extra security using the embedded key and shifting operations on the hidden data before hiding data the cover image. In short, we confused the hidden data in the cover image so that malicious people can`t understand. In experimental studies, performance analysis was evaluated by comparing various criteria as similarity ratio insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Structural Similarity Index Measure, SSIM);, stego image quality insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio, PSNR); and data hiding capacity insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Payload);.
