 Stakeholder Requirements
• Structured Data : Efficient data analysis and exploration
necessitate structured data, enabling meaningful EDA during
initial project phase.
• Data-Driven Analysis : Investigate essential factors such as
pesticides, fertilizer, pH value, humidity and other factors to
determine the most suitable crops for specific conditions,
ensuring optimal crop suitability.
• Recommendation Development : Develop practical strategies
to enhance crop production, including maximizing better
irrigation, soil health and promoting high-yield crop varieties.
• Enhance Agriculture Productivity : Analyze factors affecting
yields, improve productivity, and ensure sustainable food
production.
• Dashboard Development : Create interactive dashboard to
monitor crop harvest, pesticide use, soil nutrients and related
data through engaging visuals.
 Project Scope :
Project Plan
• Web-based Platform for Farmers : Create a user-friendly
platform that recommends suitable crops based on various
farming conditions and interprets crop yield analysis.
• Data-Driven Analysis : Using advanced data analytics tools for
in-depth analysis of crop suitability, incorporating attributes like
pesticides, pH levels, humidity, and rainfall.
• Geographical Insights : By analyzing crop performance in various
geographical conditions, ensuring efficient solution for farmers
across country by customizing them to specific soil
characteristics.
• Accurate Crop Yield Prediction : Using ML algorithms, we aim to
analyze and forecast how various elements impact crop
productivity.
• Analyzing Environmental Factors : To analyze relationship
between crop productivity, seasons and soil characteristics to
identify how it affects the production.
 Project Plan
 Project Objectives :
• Yield Analysis : To conduct a detailed analysis to identify key
factors influencing crop yields, providing a comprehensive
understanding of their contribution.
• Agricultural Factors and Crop Suitability : To analyze direct
relationship between factors like rainfall, temperature,
fertilizer and pesticides and their influence on crop suitability,
to enhance overall yield and productivity.
• Crop Selection Based on Soil Suitability : To identify and
recommend crops based on soil characteristics, to maximize
crop productivity and resource efficiency.
• Enhance Agriculture Practices : To examine pH levels,
humidity and optimize area harvested for better enhanced
productivity.
• Quality Assurance for Deliverables : To ensure data quality
while providing accurate recommendations for real-world
farming.
 Project Plan
 WHY THIS PROJECT?

• Indian agriculture is pivotal to the economy and employment but faces lower yield
compared to top producing countries like China, Brazil, and the United States..
• Despite high production in crops like wheat, rice, pulses, sugarcane, and cotton,
India's yield per unit of land is notably lower than China, Brazil, and the US.
• Project aims to analyze factors contributing to this yield gap, focusing on
improving productivity for sustainable food production.
• Research will provide actionable recommendations such as upgrading irrigation
systems, optimizing soil management, promoting high-yield crop varieties, and
supporting farmer education.

 Estimates
Our estimation process for the Crop Yield and
Production Recommendation System followed Cone of Estimation
a top-down strategy

The concept acknowledges that beginning

estimates typically have a larger margin of error,
which progressively gets less as the project
moves forward and further data becomes
Accessible like Cone of Estimation.

This iterative approach allows us to adapt and

refine our plans, ensuring efficient resource
allocation and successful project delivery.

 Change Management
• Due to schedule constraints, we held meetings outside regular
working hours. Initially, our plan was to utilize Tableau for our project.
• However, due to computational constraints, we made a strategic
decision to pivot and instead opted to use Power BI for our data
visualization and analysis needs.
• This shift was necessary to ensure that we could continue progressing
with our project efficiently despite the time limitations and constraints
we encountered.
 Quality Management
• In our project, major emphasis is on accurate crop recommendation.
• Our suggestions involve carefully looking into the best humidity and
temperature levels for different crops.
• This helps create an environment that supports strong and healthy
growth.
• We also closely examine our results to understand how rainfall
patterns affect crop growth.
• By doing this, we can improve the quality of what we provide and give
farmers the information they need to make smart decisions about
their farming practices
