Data Analysis Techniques for Farming Decision Accuracy Enhancement
In the world of modern agriculture, making informed decisions is crucial for farmers to ensure optimal crop yields and sustainable practices. Pessl Instruments GmbH, a leading company based in Weiz, Austria, has developed an advanced system for precision agriculture decision-making – Advanced Data Analytics for Precision Agriculture Decision Making.
This innovative system prioritises and explains alerts, enabling farmers to focus on the highest-risk issues first. It converts water and soil predictions into daily irrigation plans, taking into account the specific needs of each field and crop. The system aligns signals by timestamp and location, using sensor fusion and weather feeds for farm management.
The system ranks fields by irrigation need and crop value, providing farmers with a clear understanding of where their attention is most needed. Yield prediction models, trained on past seasons, report expected yield, confidence bands, and top drivers, helping farmers make more accurate decisions.
Data cleaning and standardization are essential for reliable models. This process involves validation, harmonization, handling missing data, removing outliers, and geospatial standardization. The system preprocesses and extracts time-series features from satellite imagery, such as NDVI and EVI, for a more comprehensive analysis.
Fusion methods, including averaging, weighted fusion, time-series smoothing, and machine learning models for complex patterns, are used to ensure the system's tips address real problems. The daily irrigation schedules include amounts, times, pump runtimes, and expected yield lift, providing farmers with a comprehensive plan for their fields.
The system applies Advanced Data Analytics for Precision Agriculture Decision Making to ensure tips are delivered as plain language guidance through familiar channels. Complex model outputs are converted into one-sentence actionable advice, making it easier for farmers to implement changes.
The system balances yield and water cost, ensuring farmers can make decisions that are both productive and sustainable. It provides field-level steps for irrigation, offering specific guidance for each field. Prediction models are used for yield, soil, water, and pests, based on cleaned farm data.
Pest, disease, and soil health monitoring uses drone and phone images, combining image alerts with trap counts and field reports. The guidance is sent via SMS, app push, or voice, making it accessible for farmers regardless of their technology preferences.
The system measures outcomes, gets farmer feedback, and refines models for continuous learning. It combines satellite, drone, and sensor feeds for clear farm decisions, ensuring farmers have all the information they need at their fingertips.
With Advanced Data Analytics for Precision Agriculture Decision Making, farmers can make informed decisions, improve yields, and ensure sustainable practices, all while saving time and resources.
