SOIL CLASSIFICATION AND CROP SUGGESTION USING MACHINE LEARNING

Abstract

In general, agriculture is the backbone of India and also plays an important role in Indian economy by providing a certain percentage of domestic product to ensure the food security. But now-a-days, food production and prediction is getting depleted due to unnatural climatic changes, which will adversely affect the economy of farmers by getting a poor yield and also help the farmers to remain less familiar in forecasting the future crops. This research work helps the beginner farmer in such a way to guide them for sowing the reasonable crops by deploying machine learning, one of the advanced technologies in crop prediction. Naive Bayes, a supervised learning algorithm puts forth in the way to achieve it. The seed data of the crops are collected here, with the appropriate parameters like temperature, humidity and moisture content, which helps the crops to achieve a successful growth. In addition as the software, a mobile application for Android is being developed. The users are encouraged to enter parameters like temperature and their location will be taken automatically in this application in order to start the prediction process.
