Abstract

This study analyzes machine learning methods for crop recommendation using an agricultural dataset that contains soil nutrients (N, P, and K), pH value, temperature, humidity, and rainfall. Several machine learning models were used and assessed, including Decision Tree, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, Extra Tree, Ada Boost, and XG Boost. The accuracy for XG-Boost is 99.60%, AdaBoost is 99.55%, Extra Trees is 99.40%, Random Forest is 99.32%, Decision Tree is 98.64%, and Gradient Boosting is 98.18%, according to experimental results. The findings show how ML-based methodologies can assist farmers in making data-driven crop selections, boosting output and promoting sustainable farming practices.
