Abstract

The backbone of the Indian economy is agriculture, most of the rural populations are dependent on agricultural activities for their daily livelihood. Due to increased population, it is necessary to make use of available land more effectively and it is also essential to focus on soil quality. Overuse of fertilizers has become a growing concern, which can degrade the soil quality. The amount of NPK for each crop considering the soil nutrient values should be predicted and recommended to the farmers to prevent soil degradation. Different machine learning techniques were used in different scenarios to support agriculture and to bridge the gap between agriculture and technology. In this study, requirement of fertilizers is recommended using multilayer perceptron method. A hyperbolic growing cosine unit (GCU) is introduced in MLP to provide better accuracy when compared with multilayer perception (MLP) without hyperbolic GCU.
