One of the vital tasks is the crop yield predictionat its early stage;because it forms one of the most challenging tasks inprecision agriculture as it demands a deep understanding of the growth patternwith the highly nonlinear parameters. Environmental parameters like rainfall,temperature, humidity, and management practices like fertilizers, pesticides,irrigation are very dynamic in approach and vary from field to field. In theproposed work, the data were collected from paddy fields of 28 districts in widespectrum of Tamilnadu over a period of 18 years. The Statistical model MultiLinear Regression was used as a benchmark for crop yield prediction, whichyielded an accuracy of 82% owing to its wide ranging input data. Therefore,machine learning models are developed to obtain improved accuracy, namelyBack Propagation Neural Network (BPNN), Support Vector Machine, andGeneral Regression Neural Networks with the given data set. Results showthat GRNN has greater accuracy of 97% (R2 = 0.97) with a normalizedmean square error (NMSE) of 0.03. Hence GRNN can be used for crop yieldprediction in diversified geographical fields.展开更多
