Table 3 Indicators of crop recommendation for precision farming.
From: Enhancing precision agriculture through cloud based transformative crop recommendation model
Indicators | Crop recommendation | Description |
|---|---|---|
I1 | N | Shows how much nitrogen is present in the soil. Nitrogen is a crucial nutrient for plant growth since it affects the growth of leaves, the synthesis of proteins, and the general health of plants. Crop recommendations and nitrogen-based fertilizer recommendations are influenced by soil nitrogen levels |
I2 | P | Reflects the presence of phosphorus in the soil. Phosphorus is vital for root development, energy transfer, and flowering. Understanding soil phosphorus content informs crop selection and phosphorous-specific fertilization recommendations |
I3 | K | Represents the concentration of potassium in the soil. Potassium is critical for enzyme activation, water uptake, and stress resistance in plants. Soil potassium content guides crop selection and potassium fertilizer applications |
I4 | Temperature | Describes the prevailing temperature conditions in the area, impacting crop growth stages, flowering, and fruiting. Temperature data helps identify crops suitable for specific temperature ranges |
I5 | Humidity | Indicates the amount of moisture in the atmosphere. Humidity affects crop transpiration rates, disease susceptibility, and water requirements. It plays a role in recommending crops adapted to local humidity conditions |
I6 | pH | Reflects the acidity or alkalinity of the soil. Soil pH influences nutrient availability to plants, affecting nutrient uptake and utilization. pH data informs crop selection and soil pH adjustment recommendations |
I7 | Rainfall | The amount of rain that has fallen per unit of time. Crop irrigation and moisture requirements are met by sufficient rainfall. Rainfall is key to recommending crops appropriate for local precipitation patterns. At last, the final advice for the crop type that suits the place most suitable. This is a consequence of an integrated assessment of all indications, such as soil nutrients, climate, and environmental conditions. For the available data, it tries to suggest the best crop in terms of breeding and resource efficiency |
I8 | Label | This is the super recommendation regarding the advisable type of crop that might be compatible with the certain region. It is a combination of all indicators, including soil nutrients, climate conditions, and environmental factors. According to the information given, can an ideal crop be suggested that optimizes resource needs? |
