Crop Recommendation System Using Machine Learning and IoT for Precision Farming

Abstract

Agriculture is a crucial sector that significantly contributes to the economy of many countries. However, the increasing global population and climate changes have made agricultural productivity more challenging. This paper presents a Crop Recommendation System (CRS) utilizing Machine Learning (ML) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to assist farmers in making informed decisions about suitable crops for cultivation. The system uses real-time environmental data, such as soil moisture, temperature, pH levels, and rainfall, to predict the best-suited crops for a given region. Various ML algorithms, including Decision Trees, Random Forest, and Support Vector Machines, are employed to enhance prediction accuracy. IoT-enabled sensors collect real-time data, which is then processed and analyzed to recommend optimal crops. The proposed system aims to improve agricultural yield and sustainability while reducing resource wastage.
