Predictive Modeling for Enhanced Plant Cultivation in Greenhouse Environment

Abstract

Greenhouse cultivation plays a pivotal role in modern agriculture by providing a controlled environment for plant growth. The significance of greenhouse insulation lies in its ability to create optimal conditions for plant development, ensuring increased crop productivity and quality. This paper emphasizes the criticality of greenhouse insulation and the necessity for effective predictive models to anticipate plant growth and yield accurately. This research proposes the utilization of Machine Learning (ML)and Deep Learning (DL) techniques to forecast plant growth and yield within controlled greenhouse settings. To achieve this, a novel deep recurrent neural network (RNN) architecture employing the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neuron model is deployed in the prediction process.The study offers a comparative analysis involving various ML methodologies such as support vector regression and random forest regression. The performance evaluation of these diverse methods is conducted using the mean square error criterion to assess their effectivenessin predicting plant growth and yield. The model's sophisticated architecture enables it to produce accurate and timely predictions regarding specific growth parameters by leveraging an advanced neural network. This holistic approach introduces a novel perspective in greenhouse tomato cultivation, providing growers with valuable insights to facilitate informed decision-making, streamline resource distribution, and promote heightened agricultural sustainability.
