A Fuzzy Logic Approach to Performance Evaluation of Genomics-Driven Crop Improvement

Abstract

Genomics-driven crop improvement has emerged as a revolutionary approach to enhance yield, resilience, and nutritional value in agriculture. However, traditional performance evaluation methods often must catch up with agricultural systems' complex, multifaceted nature. This study proposes a fuzzy logic-based framework to assess the performance of genomics-driven crop improvement initiatives. By integrating fuzzy logic, we can effectively manage uncertainty and ambiguity inherent in agricultural data, allowing for a more nuanced evaluation of crop traits, environmental factors, and management practices. The paper begins by elucidating the fundamental principles of genomics-based agriculture and its impact on crop development. It then delves into the theoretical underpinnings of fuzzy logic and its applicability in modeling the multifaceted aspects of crop growth, encompassing genetic, environmental, and physiological factors. Through a synthesis of existing research and empirical data, the paper illustrates the effectiveness of fuzzy logic in capturing the nuances of crop development processes, including germination, flowering, and yield formation. This paper underscores the pivotal role of fuzzy logic analysis in advancing genomics-based agriculture, offering insights into the dynamic interactions shaping crop development and facilitating informed decision-making for sustainable and resilient food production systems in the face of evolving environmental challenges. Results indicate that the fuzzy logic approach enhances the accuracy of performance assessments and facilitates better decision-making in crop management.
