  • Simple and Quick Classification of Soil for Sunflower Cultivation Using Data Mining Algorithm
    International Journal of ChemTech Research CODEN (USA): IJCRGG ISSN: 0974-4290 Vol.7, No.6, pp 2601-2605, 2014-2015 Simple and Quick Classification of Soil for Sunflower Cultivation using Data Mining Algorithm Durga Karthik1, K.Vijayarekha2 1CSE, SRC,SASTRA University, Kumbakonam. India. 2School of EEE, SASTRA University, Thanjavur, India. Abstract: Thanjavur a district in the state of Tamilnadu, India is gifted with the river Cauvery that flows throughout the district. Due to change in the weather pattern and scanty rainfall the water table in the region has depleted. As rice a primary crop of this region requires more water the need of the hour is to find a crop that require less water and profitable too . Our aim is to identify the suitability of sunflower cultivation in this region as sunflower requires very less water, profitable and well suited for cultivation in tropical region. As the demand for edible oil is ever increasing, India is importing it from other countries. The properties of soils from various regions of Thanjavur are analyzed to find the suitability of sunflower cultivation in this district. Data Mining techniques are employed to classify if the soil is suitable or not. Keywords: Classification, PCA, JRIP, Naïve Bayes, Multivariate. Introduction Thanjavur , the rice bowl of Tamilnadu in India has experienced deficit rainfall during the monsoon , that has led to irrigation problems. The region is located at latitude 10º 08’, longitude 78º 48’ with an altitude of 59m. Agriculture is the primary occupation but due to changes in weather conditions and due to low profit, the farmers tend to change their occupation.
