Abstract: This invention relates to a multi-crop intercropping recommendation system that leverages AI and real-time data to suggest optimal crop combinations for enhancing soil health, increasing yield, and improving resource utilization. The system analyses soil properties, climate conditions, and crop compatibility to recommend effective intercropping strategies. By integrating machine learning algorithms with environmental and market data, it helps farmers select complementary crops that grow well together, reduce pest risks, and optimize the use of water and nutrients. The system aims to promote sustainable farming practices, reduce input costs, and improve overall farm productivity while ensuring ecological balance. AI-powered multi-crop intercropping recommendation system suggests an optimal combination of maize and cowpea. Based on the soil’s nitrogen deficiency and the local climate, the system recommends planting cowpea alongside maize to naturally fix nitrogen in the soil, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers. This combination also helps in suppressing weeds and preventing soil erosion. For the same field, the system might suggest another combination, like tomatoes and basil, where basil acts as a natural pest repellent for tomatoes. Additionally, the system analyses real-time weather forecasts and soil moisture data, advising the farmer on the best planting and irrigation schedules for maximum yield. By providing such tailored intercropping strategies, the invention not only boosts yield but also promotes sustainable farming practices, reduces costs, and enhances soil health.
