Applying data mining techniques to predict annual yield of major crops and recommend planting different crops in different districts in Bangladesh

摘要

Agricultural crop production depends on various factors such as biology, climate, economy and geography. Several factors have different impacts on agriculture, which can be quantified using appropriate statistical methodologies. Applying such methodologies and techniques on historical yield of crops, it is possible to obtain information or knowledge which can be helpful to farmers and government organizations for making better decisions and policies which lead to increased production. In this paper, our focus is on application of data mining techniques to extract knowledge from the agricultural data to estimate crop yield for major cereal crops in major districts of Bangladesh.
