AI-driven paddy nutrient composition and concentration management advisory

PROJECT SUMMARY

This research embarks on an exploration of the synergy between precision agriculture, crop modeling, and regression algorithms to create a digital twin for farmers to augment the concentration and composition prediction-based crop nutrient recovery. This captures the holistic representation of crop characteristics, considering the intricate relationships between environmental factors, nutrient concentrations, and crop compositions. However, the complexity arising from diverse soil and environmental conditions makes nutrient content analysis expensive and time-consuming. This paper presents two approaches, namely,

  1. single-nutrient concentration prediction and
  2. nutrient composition concentration prediction, which is the result of a predictive digital twin case study that employs six regression algorithms, namely, Elastic Net, Polynomial, Stepwise, Ridge, Lasso, and Linear Regression, to predict rice nutrient content efficiently, particularly considering the coexistence and composition of multiple nutrients.
Our research findings highlight the superiority of the Polynomial Regression model in predicting nutrient content, with a specific focus on accurate nitrogen percentage prediction.
