Abstract
Early crop yield prediction can address one of the most important agricultural challenges—feeding a growing population. The results of this prediction can be used to maximize crop yields. Crop growth is determined by a variety of weather, soil, and other micro-climatic variables. In addition, one of the most important parameters affecting crop growth, and over which the farmer has a large influence, is the selection of a sowing date. There are a few different models and simulators for predicting crop yields. However, they are rarely user-friendly. This paper focuses on developing a user-friendly mobile client that uses a simulator in the background to determine the sowing date which results in the highest crop yield. In the mobile application, a user selects the fixed interval of sowing dates and a crop type to obtain the sowing date that gives the highest predicted yield.
