IRJET, 2022

Robotics has influenced all modern day infrastructures and developments, and is crucial to find its way through traditional agricultural practices that are still mostly done by manpower and human interference. Pesticides being chemical agents, if sprayed excessively on agricultural/organic matter may highly influence its health, and also cause soil degradation to a very high extent leading to degradation of farm fertility, as most of the farmers being un aware of the damages that such excessive insecticide sprays can cause to land and plant health. Thus, our prime motive is to develop a robot governed by Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning algorithm dedicating itself to spray pesticides only where it is essential, by incorporating machine vision. Thus, analyzing plants, monitoring their health status, and spraying pesticides if and only if plant is prone to infestation or attack.

RECOMMENDATION OF CROP AND PESTICIDES USING MACHINE LEARNING

The major resource for improving the economy of India is agriculture. From past farmers followed ancestral faming pattern and regularities within it. A single farmer cannot take action upon improving the crop yield of a nation and does not have enough potential to maximize the crop yield by adopting technical norms within plant growth and improving the yield in a large quantity. Severe change in climatic condition and several other pesticides attack cause shorting of crop yield and also led to food shortage. A simple misguided decision in farming can affect a farmer severe. In recent, there is lot of techniques applied by researchers and those techniques are available to raise the quantity of yield. This in turn changed traditional farming approach and introduced precision farming. Recently data mining performs vital role in identifying plant disease and providing solution prescribing pesticides to plant disease. But this study extends the application of data mining in agriculture to a greater extent. The cultivation of precious crop at right time is the major issues faced by farmer. This study proposes machine learning (ML) approach to resolve it and makes the farmer to choose right crop based on the nutrition content and quality of soil. The machine learning algorithms chosen for this study are Random forest, decision tree and K-nearest neighboring. Some of the factors mainly considered for recommendation of plant are humidity, rainfall, pH value, soil moisture. The recommended technique makes farmer to take decision on improving the crop yield; recommending crops as per climatic condition and quality of land.

PEST MANAGEMENT USING MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS: A REVIEW

Agriculture is a unique business crop production, which is dependent on many climate and economy factors, the major occupation of Indians is farming where in about 70% of the population depends on agriculture. Farmers have wide range of diversity to select suitable Fruit and Vegetable crops. However, the cultivation of these crops for optimum yield and quality produce is highly technical. The crop production has reduced due to various factors like pest attack, diseases and climatic conditions. Crop protection is the science and practice of managing pests, plant diseases and other pest organisms that damage agricultural crops. Machine learning is a looming field of computer science which can be applied to the farming sector quite effectively. It can facilitate the up-gradation of conventional farming techniques in the most cost-friendly approach. This paper reviews on how different machine learning algorithms are useful in pest management of various crops.

IRJET, 2023

Trees, Plants and Crops are one of the principal sources of food for humans as well as other animals. They are crucial for our continuance. Similar to us they are also living organisms. Once in a while we get afflicted by diverse diseases. Like us, plants are also affected by various types of illness. Plants that are infected by disease have results on their health which have severe consequences like less food production. Most plant ailments are contagious which spread rapidly all over the whole crop. Prior prevention and ceasing of disease is a necessity step to stop further harm and proper crop production. Usually, farmers or professionals keep a close eye on the plants in order to discover and identify diseases. However, this procedure is frequently time-consuming, costly, and imprecise. We need to ameliorate and quicken the process of disease perception and its diagnosis.
