Predicting regional agricultural yield in Rajasthan: graph-based multi-scale temporal integrated approach
摘要
Indian Agriculture system is one of the main sources of livelihood, it is necessary to have accurate crop yield Prediction (CYP) to plan agriculture and food security. Nevertheless, existing algorithms show challenges to learn the dependency among the spatial differences in regions and intermittent temporal variations in climatic factors like rainfall and temperature. This paper suggests a new Graph-based Multi-Scale Temporal (GMST) model for CYP. This paper addresses the issue of existing algorithms by learning spatial relations between districts while integrating with the multi-scale learning of the temporal relation. This considers the short-, medium- and long-term yield patterns at the same time. The suggested model is tested on a dataset of environmental, soil, rainfall, and yield data of 32 districts of Rajasthan (2007-2019). The findings indicate that the results have good predictive power with an RMSE,
