This research project focuses on the development of machine learning models to predict
crop yield and recommend suitable crops based on environmental conditions. Accurate
yield prediction and crop recommendation are crucial for data-driven decision-making in
agriculture, helping farmers optimize their production strategies. To achieve these
objectives, we propose a comprehensive approach that leverages machine learning
algorithms to analyze soil, weather, and crop data. The yield prediction model uses features
such as temperature, rainfall, and pesticide usage to estimate crop yields with high
accuracy, while the crop recommendation model identifies the most suitable crops based
on environmental factors. Our system uses IoT devices to collect real-time environmental
data such as soil nutrients, temperature, humidity, and rainfall, alongside historical data to
predict crop yields and recommend suitable crops. The recommendation model analyzes
parameters like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, pH value, and climate data to suggest
crops like wheat, rice, maize, and more. Meanwhile, the crop yield prediction model
leverages factors such as rainfall, pesticide usage, and average temperature to forecast the
yield for crops like maize, rice, and wheat. Furthermore, we have integrated these models
into a web application designed to provide real-time predictions and recommendations.
The web app allows users to input data directly or connect with IoT-based sensors for live
analysis of environmental conditions. The app includes an analyzer tool, which
continuously monitors parameters like soil health and climate, providing up-to-date
insights that adjust yield predictions and crop recommendations accordingly. We believe
this system will have a significant impact on improving crop yields and enhancing
decision-making processes for farmers and agricultural experts.
