An Approach for Soil Fertility Assessment Using Geospatial Data and Environmental Covariates

Published: 13 May 2024 Publication History

Abstract

Agriculture is one of the most important industries for the country in terms of sustainability and the economy. Agriculture practises must be improved to preserve a sustainable balance because agriculture’s importance and requirement are increasing along with the population. A vital part of the agricultural system is the soil. The accurate and thorough spatial soil information provided by soil composition detection can assist farmers in making decisions that will promote the growth of their crops. As a result, researchers concentrated on using AI and remote sensing to create models for the prediction of soil nutrient information that will aid farmers in exact fertilisation. A precise and economical solution for soil nutrient mapping is now available due to recent developments in sensor technology and machine learning-based soil analysis methods. Therefore, using machine learning (ML) techniques on remote sensing data can aid in developing a precision farming decision support system to increase crop output. For environmental modelling and risk assessment, complete and accurate geographic soil information is crucial.
