Data Mining Techniques Applied to Agriculture: State of the Art and Bibliometric Analysis
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research presents a bibliometric analysis of 106 journal and state-of-the-art articles indexed in Scopus and a systematic analysis of 83 selected papers. Areas of study are identified that include the prediction of crop yield and growth, the detection of plant diseases, and water and soil analysis related to different types of crops such as cereals (rice, barley, corn, wheat, soybeans); fruits (apple, cucumber); legumes (alfalfa, beans, peanuts); tubers, among others. Climatic variables, soil, water, topographic and edaphological conditions, and data mining techniques such as Neural Networks, Deep Learning, segmentation, association, and classification rules, among others, are examined to optimize the use of resources and make agricultural decisions based on data. In addition, the challenges and opportunities in this research area are highlighted as the future perspectives for developing advanced data mining solutions in the agricultural context. This analysis contributes to a better understanding of how data mining is transforming the farm sector academic and scientific community to drive efficiency, sustainability, and informed decision-making in food production.
