For analyzing the crop productivity, rainfall prediction is require and necessary to all farmers. Rainfall Prediction is the application of science and technology to predict the state of the atmosphere. It is important to exactly determine the rainfall for effective use of water resources, crop productivity and pre planning of water structures. Using different data mining techniques it can predict rainfall. Data mining techniques are used to estimate the rainfall numerically.Agriculture has the largest contribution in the GDP of our country. But still the farmer’s don’t get worth price of the crops. It is mostly happens due to improper irrigation or inappropriate crops selection or also sometimes the crop yield is less than that of expected. By analyzing the soil and atmosphere at particular region best crop in order to have more crop yield and the net crop yield can be predict. One suitable explanation behind this is the deficiency of adequate decision making by farmers on yield prediction. There isn't any framework in location to suggest farmer what plants to grow. The proposed machine learning approach aims at predicting the best yielded crop for a particular region by analyzing various atmospheric factors like rainfall, temperature, humidity etc., and land factors like soil pH, soil type including past records of crops grown. Finally our system is expected to predict the best yield based on dataset we have collected.This prediction will help the farmers to choose appropriate crops for their farm according to the soil type, temperature, humidity, water level, spacing depth, soil PH, season, fertilizer and months. This prediction can be carried out using Random Forest classification machine learning algorithm.</p> ER -
