Abstract:
Agriculture plays a vital role in the socioeconomic fabric of India. Failure of farmers to decide on the
best-suited crop for the land using traditional and non-scientific methods is a serious issue for a
country where approximately 58 percent of the population is involved in farming. Sometimes farmers
were failed to choose the right crops based on the soil conditions, sowing season, and geographical
location. This results in suicide, quitting the agriculture field, moving towards urban areas for
livelihood. Crops are recommended based on soil, weather, humidity, rainfall, and other variables to
increase agricultural output. It benefits not just farmers, but also the country and helps to keep food
costs down.
Agriculture is the backbone of the economy in many countries, contributing significantly to their Gross
Domestic Product (GDP). The right choice of crop plays a critical role in ensuring good yield and
profitability for farmers. However, farmers often face the challenge of selecting the right crop due to a
variety of factors such as changing climate patterns, varying soil conditions, and limited knowledge
about modern agricultural practices. It has been a major problem to identify what to grow, any man
has adequate space in the owner’s land. Not only domestic lands but also for farming lands. Why it has
become a problem is that environmental factors such as temperature, water levels, and soil conditions
are uncertain as they change from time to time To overcome this issue, this research work has
proposed a system to assist the farmers in crop selection by considering all the factors like sowing
season, soil, and geographical location. Furthermore, precision agriculture is being implemented with a
modern agricultural technology and it is evolving in developing countries that concentrates on site-
specific crop management. This paper presents the utilisation of machine learning approaches like
Random Forest and Decision Tree to predict which crop is best for which soil type based on the data
sets.

Title GROWZ
Clients Ministry of micro,Small and Medium Enterprises

The objective of GROWZ is to develop an intelligent crop recommendation

Objective/Vision system that assists farmers in making informed decisions about the most
suitable crops to grow in their specific farming environment. By analyzing
factors such as climate patterns, soil conditions, and modern agricultural
practices, the system aims to provide accurate crop suggestions, leading to
improved crop selection and increased yield. It will offer insights into
market demands, enable optimized resource utilization, and promote
better soil health through appropriate fertilization recommendations. With
early disease prediction and timely seasonal alerts, GROWZ aims to
minimize crop losses and aid in effective farming practices. The system will
be user-friendly, supporting multiple languages, and continually seeking
user feedback for continuous improvement and enhanced
agriculturalproductivity.

Users 1.Farmers
2. Agricultural Experts
3. Agricultural Researchers

F1:User Registration and Login :

Functional The system should allow users to register and create accounts. Users should be
Requirements able to log in with their credentials.

F2: Language Selection:

This makes the system accessible to users from different linguistic backgrounds
and improves the user experience significantly.

F3: Location-Based Crop Recommendation:

Location-based crop recommendation is a feature that provides personalized crop
suggestions based on a user's geographical location. This feature leverages
Geographic Information System (GIS) data and other relevant information specific
to a user's location to offer suitable crop recommendations.

F4: Soil Analysis and Recommendation:

It interprets the data from soil tests to recommend the most suitable crops and
amendments for optimum plant growth.

F5: Market Demand Insights Prediction:

Market Demand Insights is a feature in a crop recommendation system that
 provides valuable information to farmers about the market demand for various
crops. This can guide their decisions on what to plant and when to harvest for
maximum profitability

F6: Fertilizers Recommendation :

Fertilizer Recommendation is an essential feature in a crop recommendation
system. It offers suggestions on appropriate types of fertilizers, quantities, and
application timing, based on the crop type, soil composition, and other factors.

F7: Yield Prediction :

Yield Prediction is a feature in a crop recommendation system that uses various
data points and predictive models to estimate the quantity of crop that a farmer
can expect to harvest under given conditions. It is a crucial tool for farmers as it
helps them plan their selling strategies, estimate profits, and manage resources
efficiently.

F8:Plant Disease Prediction :

Plant Disease Prediction is a feature in a crop recommendation system that helps
in the early detection and management of plant diseases. It uses various data and
machine learning algorithms to predict potential disease threats and helps
farmers take preventive actions.

F9: Seasonal Alerts:

Seasonal Alerts is a feature in a crop recommendation system that sends out
timely notifications about various seasonal factors and events that could affect
crop growth and yield. This feature enables farmers to plan and take appropriate
actions in response to the changing seasons.

F10: Feedback System:

Feedback System in a crop recommendation system is a feature that allows users
to provide feedback about their experience with the system, its accuracy, and its
effectiveness. This can be crucial for continuously improving the system and
ensuring it meets users' needs effectively.

Non-Functional F1:Performance:
Requirements This involves how quickly and efficiently the system can process user requests
and provide accurate recommendations. To deliver good performance, the
system must be well-optimized, with efficient algorithms for data processing and
prediction, fast databases for storing and retrieving data, and a responsive user
interface.

F2:Scalability:
As the number of users grows, the system should be able to handle the increased
load without a decline in performance. This could involve using cloud-based
servers that can be easily scaled up or down, or designing the system architecture
to allow for distributed processing of tasks.
 F3:Security:
The system must protect user data and system data from unauthorized access
and cyber threats. This could involve techniques like encryption of data, secure
user authentication methods, regular security audits, and adhering to best
practices in secure coding.

F4:Reliability and Availability:

The system should consistently function correctly and be available whenever
users need to access it. This involves robust software design, comprehensive
testing to identify and fix bugs, and redundancy in the system architecture to
ensure uptime even when parts of the system fail.

F5:Data Backup and Recovery:

Regular backups should be made of all important data to protect against data loss
in the event of a system failure or data corruption. If something goes wrong,
there should be a process in place for recovering lost data and restoring the
system to normal operation.

F6:Data Privacy and Compliance:

The system should adhere to all relevant data protection regulations and respect
user privacy. This might involve anonymizing collected data, obtaining informed
consent from users about data collection and use, and providing transparency
about how user data is used and protected.

F7:Error Handling and Logging:

The system should be able to handle unexpected issues gracefully, providing
informative error messages to users and not crashing or losing data. Errors should
be logged for further investigation and to aid in debugging and improving the
system.

F8:Compatibility:
The system should be compatible with various devices, operating systems, and
web browsers that farmers might use. This could involve using responsive web
design to ensure the user interface works well on different screen sizes and
testing the system thoroughly on various platforms

F9: Backup and Disaster Recovery:

In addition to regular data backups, the system should have a disaster
recovery plan in place. This involves preparing for potential disaster
scenarios, such as a major system failure, cyber attack, or natural disaster,
and having a plan for quickly recovering the system and its data in such an
event.
