Abstract

This research work introduces an advanced crop recommendation system utilizing machine learning to assist farmers in choosing optimal crops based on specific environmental and soil conditions. By employing algorithms such as Random Forest, Logistic Regression, XGBoost, and Gaussian Naive Bayes, the system evaluates key parameters including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, pH, temperature, humidity, and rainfall. Achieving an accuracy of 96%, the ensemble model demonstrates its capability to deliver reliable crop predictions. A user-friendly web application enables farmers to input local conditions and receive customized recommendations, empowering them to make informed decisions that enhance productivity and address economic challenges. This innovation highlights the transformative role of machine learning in agriculture, promoting smarter, data-driven practices. Ultimately, the system aims to boost crop yields, minimize losses, and support sustainable agricultural development.
