Abstract
Precision agriculture is a technique that is incorporated to produce high crop yield with the best utilization of available resources. Traditional farming is adversely affected due to improper resource management. In order to overcome the efforts of a farmer, a model for the soil moisture forecasting has been proposed in this manuscript to deliver better after-effects of farming. The proposed model uses long short-term memory (LSTM) to predict soil moisture. The model is trained on a dataset acquired from IIT Kanpur agricultural site. For analyzing the performance of the model mean absolute error (MAE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), mean squared error (MSE), and root mean squared error (RMSE) has been used as performance metrics. This paper is paving way for the early prediction of the soil moisture that can be used with other advanced innovative irrigation techniques.
