Abstract

In this study, we developed a machine learning algorithm for crop recommendation based on a dataset containing environmental features and corresponding optimal crop choices. The algorithm was trained on a set of seven numerical features, including temperature, humidity, pH value, rainfall, and levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the soil. We evaluated the performance of multiple classification algorithms, including naive Bayes, logistic regression, support vector machine (SVM), decision trees, random forests, and neural networks. Our results showed that neural networks performed the best. However, SVM, which provided only unsatisfactory results initially, also achieved pleasing results after we redesigned its structure and adjusted its parameters. This system has the potential to assist farmers in choosing the most suitable crops for their specific environments, leading to increased crop yield and profitability.
