Abstract

Soil moisture is crucial in various fields and monitoring it to guide irrigation is challenging. Machine learning has emerged as a promising tool to predict soil moisture levels accurately. This study evaluates machine learning techniques for this task, training models with meteorological variables and direct soil moisture measurements. Four machine learning algorithms were implemented, highlighting the Gradient Boosting Regressor as the most effective. In addition, a processed data set that combines meteorological and soil moisture measurements is presented, hoping it will be helpful for future research. This approach seeks to improve the compression and predictability of soil moisture, which is crucial for agricultural planning and water management in agriculture
