Tellus: a computational model for the prediction of soil fertility in precision agriculture
Abstract
The application of ubiquitous computing has increased in recent years, especially due to the development of technologies such as mobile computing and its integration with the real world. One of the challenges in this area is the use of context awareness. In agriculture, the context can be related to the environment, for example, the chemical and physical aspects that characterize different types of soil over time. This paper proposes a computational model applied in precision agriculture that uses the contexts history to predict soil fertility. The best results were obtained in the prediction of organic matter, with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.9102 for root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.49%.
