D. Exixting System
In existing systems there is no much technology used
for the detection or the prediction of the yield, based on the
previously collected data. This previously collected data will
include the several factors like soil, climate, rainfall and other
important features in that particular location. At present only
the type of the crop that can be grown in that particular area or
region is been told to the farmers and most the farmers fails to
go to the government bodies to take suggestions about the
Interfacing Db land, soil, and other climatic conditions that will be effecting
the growth of their crops in spite of all these facilities the
farmers fail to go because they find difficult to travel to far
place and no proper segments to support them therefore the
farmers will not have much knowledge about the crop yield in
advance.
E. Proposed System
The system that we are proposing here is the mobile
application where the farmers need to download the app on
Using Datamining Techniques
their smart phone and enter the required details about their
field and the data related to the crop they grow and for how
much area along with the climatic conditions ,rainfall and
other necessary factors and all these data will be compared
with the previously noted data and are compared using various
Final Yield Predicted data mining techniques then finally the compared results of
crop yield would be displayed on their smart phone.
