SOIL HEALTH ANALYSIS AND CLASSIFICATION OF MICRONUTRIENTS FOR CROP SUGGESTION USING MACHINE LEARNING

Abstract

An essential component of agriculture is soil. Many types of soil exists. Different parameters can be observed in each type of soil, and various crops can be grown on different types of soils. To understand which crops develop in certain types of soil, they need to be informed on the characteristics and features of various soil types. The capability to identify the inputs needed for productive and cost-effective farming was provided by soil analysis. A proper soil test will ensure that the proper amount of fertilizers are utilized, providing the crop to meet its needs while also profiting from the nutrients already available in the soil. The phrase "soil health" refers to the biological, chemical, and physical elements of the soil that are significant for plant nutrients. Soil analysis is a collection of different chemical processes that determines the amounts of available plant nutrients in the soil. The most important factors for producing a healthy crop are micronutrient analysis. The classification of soil's micronutrients is the primary objective of this analysis. In this case, machine learning methods may be helpful. It has made significant progress in recent years. Hence in this analysis, soil health analysis and classification of Micronutrients for crop suggestion using Machine Learning is presented. The coloured images of the soil samples are obtained and processed using a number of algorithms and filters. Color, texture, and other features can be extracted using these developed algorithms. Logistic Regression algorithm is used to classify micronutrients.
