Integration of smart Sensors and Machine Learning Algorithms for Automated Pest Management

This paper presents a new IoT-based approach for agricultural pest control, incorporating machine learning techniques. Traditional pest monitoring methods are labor-intensive and often result in the overuse of pesticides. The proposed system solves this problem by predicting pest populations using environmental data collected via IoT sensors. We use random forest regression and random search cross-validation to predict pests and identify important factors. The system calculates the amount of pesticides based on forecasts, helping farmers optimize use and reduce environmental impact. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the system in terms of accurate prediction and optimal pesticide application, and thereby providing a scalable and cost-effective solution for sustainable agriculture.
