IoT-Based Comparative Analysis of Machine Learning Algorithms for Predicting Felicitous Crop for Cultivation
Neha Jain, Yogesh Awasthi and Rakesh Kumar Jain
Abstract
Superior quality crops and large production yield always remained the foremost objective of any
farmer. The primary objective of large production can never be fulfilled by following the traditional
methods of agriculture. The Meteorological parameters like temperature, humidity, rainfall, soil
macronutrients (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium), and soil PH are among the most crucial
parameters whose uneven composition mainly hinders crop growth dynamics. A farmer mainly
focuses on adding more fertilizers and irrigation for nurturing the crop. But do not have much
concern about the optimum level of the ecological factors, which suits the crop more than the
adopted traditional methods. However, the combination of all the factors, maintaining their
optimum balance, can only decide the crop type and its growth. Every crop requires a different
ecological regime for its sustainable development and that is very important for the understanding
of any farmer. This paper proposes an Intelligent Learning System (ILS) that can guide a farmer, to
cultivate the most felicitous crop suitable under the available resources. ILS is an IoT-enabled
machine learning system that works on the real-time data input of 7 different attributes for
prediction. In this paper, the comparison ofvarious machine learning models is conducted and the
maximum accuracy is evaluated. The accuracy for KNN, DT, RF, GB, and XGB classifiers are found to
be 0.9772, 0.9931,0.9972,0.9954,and 0.9931 respectively
