Abstract: Agriculture is one of the cardinal sectors of the Indian Economy. The proposed system offers a methodology to efficiently monitor and control various attributes that affect crop growth and production. The system also uses machine learning along with the Internet of Things (IoT) to predict the crop yield. Various weather conditions such as temperature, humidity, and soil moisture are monitored in real-time using IoT sensors. IoT is also used to regulate the water level in the water tanks, which helps in reducing the wastage of water resources. A machine learning model is developed to predict the yield of the crop based on parameters taken from these sensors. The model uses Random Forest Regressor and gives an accuracy of 87.5%. Such a system provides a simple and efficient way to maintain and monitor the health of the crop.
Keywords: Agriculture, IoT, Sensors, Machine Learning, Random Forest Regressor.
Scope of the Article: Machine Learning
