Abstract

A machine learning model is an essential tool for deciding which crops to produce and what to do during those crops’ growing seasons. The employment of various machine learning algorithms in research to forecast higher crop output has considerably benefited the agriculture sector. In this study, an appropriate crop recommendation solution is constructed utilizing a Kaggle dataset that incorporates several factors such as (N-Nitrogen, K-Potassium, P-Phosphorus, Humidity, pH value of the soil, rainfall and temperature). The major goal of this model is to estimate which crop would grow best on a given farm based on the parameters that were used to create the model. The evaluated models revealed random forest to have the highest prediction accuracy with a score of 99 percent, K-Nearest Neighbor was next with a score of 97 and logistic regression recorded 96 percent. Hence random forest produced the highest accuracy score of 0.99 in recommending appropriate crops to farmers especially in times of drought and low soil fertility.
