Agro-smart Crop Recommendation and Yield Forecasting Employed through Machine Learning

In India, farmers often face significant challenges in selecting the appropriate crop variety for specific soil types, leading to substantial productivity losses. This project leverages precision agriculture by utilizing specific information about soil characteristics, location, and planting times to design a sophisticated model. The model employs Naïve Bayes for crop recommendation and Linear Regression for yield prediction. The model achieved a 99.54% accuracy in crop recommendation and an R<sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> of 0.94 in yield prediction, outperforming traditional methods. The implementation of high-end machine learning algorithms not only provides accurate crop recommendations but also predicts yields, equipping farmers with essential tools for informed decision- making to enhance productivity. The machine learning model is integrated into a user-friendly interface to facilitate its adoption.
