Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Algorithms to Analyse Integrated Nutrient Management Strategies for Optimal Yield and Quality of Oilseeds Crops for Sustainable Development

The main objective of this research is to deduce the efficacy of integrated nutrient management (INM) technologies in production of oilseed crops for sustainable development. A great amount of experience is needed in selecting the most effective INM strategy. A new recommendation system to circumnavigate this issue is proposed. It lets farmers decide on the best INM strategy to maximize oilseed crop yield and quality. This system is built on the techniques of advanced machine Learning (ML) and aritifical Intelligence (AI). Oilseed crop date in Tamil Nadu from 1961 to 2019 was used to develop the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm for crop yield prediction (CYP) which includes a Soft Voting Ensemble Classifier with weights (SVECWW), a Soft Voting Ensemble Classifier without weights (SVECWOW) along with the SVM technique are compared and contrasted with existing algorithms and also proves that SVECWW outperforms other ML algorithms with an accuracy rate of 97.2%. Furthermore, the Stacked Generalization Ensemble model is employed and compared with another Deep Neural Network (DNN) for the INM crop recommendation system which offers a simple graphical user interface (GUI) for farmers to use and received an accuracy of 97.5%. This GUI enables farmers to access valuable information such as the optimal timing for cultivating oilseed crops, the appropriate types and quantities of organic manures, inorganic fertilizers, and bio-fertilizers required for successful oilseed crop production. The study shows, on its whole, how to create tailored recommendation systems for farmers using GUI models with artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. Implementing these systems is expected to significantly improve oilseed crop production and quality significantly, benefiting the whole agricultural sector for sustainable development. Artificial intelligence (AI) makes a recommendation system more accurate and adaptable by looking through complex datasets and patterns in INM strategies. AI enables the model to come up with personalized nutrient recommendations for farmers by optimizing yield and crop quality based on adherence to sustainable agriculture practices.
