Abstract

Fertilizer recommendations are essential for farmers: smallholders’ investment is relatively significant and risky with unknown yield responses and variable fertilizer prices. We utilized four learning models: MLP, SVR, GBRT, and LSTM, for fertilizer recommendation based on soil chemical analysis. This comparison work identifies the suitable prediction model for nutrients-based fertilizer recommendation that replaces agricultural expert advice. The real-time soil testing report data for three major crops like paddy, sugarcane, and banana are collected and applied for experimental purposes over four different prediction models. Different prediction error metrics are calculated and chosen the prediction model with the lowest error. It is clear from the comparative analysis that LSTM predicts better than others, with an accuracy of 99.15%.
