DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
This project aims to develop an intelligent system for predicting crop yield in Telangana
by analyzing historical weather patterns, rainfall trends, and climate risks like droughts,
floods, and cyclones. The system integrates weather data and cropped area statistics to
provide farmers with smart irrigation recommendations and actionable insights into pest
and disease outbreaks. The project will be implemented as a user-friendly web
application tailored for rural farmers.
2. GOALS/OBJECTIVES
The current objectives of the project include data preprocessing for weather and crop
datasets, developing the backend for crop yield prediction using Flask, and building
basic web pages for user interaction. Future objectives involve completing the machine
learning model training for crop yield prediction, integrating modules for pest and
irrigation recommendations, and optimizing and deploying the web application to
ensure seamless functionality and accessibility.
3. PROGRESS TO DATE
Work Completed:
The project began with the collection of datasets containing weather information and
cropped area statistics, which serve as the foundation for the system's predictive
capabilities. These datasets were carefully analyzed to ensure their relevance and
alignment with the project objectives. Initial exploratory data analysis was conducted to
understand the patterns and relationships within the data, focusing on key parameters
such as rainfall, temperature, and humidity
Work In Progress:
The machine learning model for crop yield prediction is currently undergoing training,
utilizing preprocessed weather and crop data to identify patterns and correlations. This
phase involves fine-tuning algorithms to ensure the model can accurately forecast yields
based on historical weather trends, rainfall patterns, and crop-specific requirements. By
leveraging advanced techniques, the model aims to deliver precise predictions that will
support farmers in making informed decisions for sustainable agricultural practices.
Problems Encountered:
Minor issues with missing and inconsistent data in weather datasets, which are being
addressed through imputation techniques.
4. TIMELINE/DEADLINES
The project timeline consists of three phases over nine weeks.
6. RESOURCES NEEDED/SUPPORT
• Guidance on optimizing ML models for large datasets.
• Access to additional pest and disease-related datasets (if available).
7. FEEDBACK AND SUGGESTIONS
• Instructor/Supervisor Feedback:
• Student’s Reflection/Comments:
The project has provided significant learning opportunities in data
preprocessing and machine learning. Addressing data inconsistency and
integrating multiple modules has been challenging but insightful.
