Oil palm yield depends on factors like plant physiology, meteorology, and soil quality. The interaction of these factors remains unclear. Machine learning can reveal these interactions, creating a data-driven model for accurate yield prediction. Hence, this cluster will develop an operational model to predict oil palm yield accurately.​

Agronomy

Agronomy data for palm oil yield prediction using machine learning

The project's objectives involve consolidating agronomy data, training and validating a machine learning algorithm, and selecting a high-accuracy model. Fifteen machine learning and one deep learning models were deployed. Ensemble methods are favored for stability and outperform advanced neural networks.
Geoinformatics

Geoinformatics data for palm oil yield prediction using machine learning

This project aims to create an oil palm yield prediction model based on geospatial data using machine learning. Comparing algorithms, it finds that RF, SVR, and DNN perform better than MLR. A GIS prediction map and web app are developed. Feature selection is critical, and deep neural networks provide effective predictions. However, factors like localized weather, topography, and macronutrients should be considered in future models, along with more data and advanced techniques for better estimation and practicality.
Protection

Crop protection data for palm oil yield prediction using machine learning

The project aims to analyze and prepare agrometeorological data using various sources like MPOB, MET, and NASA. It involves exploratory data analysis, machine learning for oil palm FFB yield prediction, and multicriteria model comparison. The study concludes that machine learning effectively predicts FFB yields, offering better resource allocation and sustainability in agriculture.
