Abstract Fertilizer management poses a significant and intricate challenge in modern agriculture, as farmers often struggle to optimize fertilizer use due to erratic weather conditions and varying soil types. These issues lead to nutrient loss through leaching and runoff, reduced crop yields, and negative environmental consequences. Existing systems do not adequately provide a comprehensive solution that integrates real-time weather data, soil-specific evaluations, and advanced predictive algorithms for tailored nutrient recommendations. This project addresses these limitations by developing a mobile application that employs an advanced random forest algorithm to analyze time-series weather data, rainfall patterns, and soil classifications. The system enables precise predictions of nutrient requirements for various crops, thereby minimizing fertilizer waste and enhancing soil health. The input data includes soil type, crop details, and current weather forecasts, while the output delivers optimized nutrient suggestions to farmers. The proposed application is designed to be user-friendly, organizing data by soil type, assessing weather conditions, and offering practical insights. By combining machine learning, weather analysis, and soil-specific filtering, this project provides farmers with data-driven tools for sustainable agricultural practices. Ultimately, the system aims to boost crop productivity, reduce environmental impact, and promote efficient fertilizer use.

1. INTRODUCTION

   Agriculture continues to be a fundamental component of numerous economies, with the effective use of fertilizers being vital for maintaining food security and optimizing crop production. Nevertheless, conventional fertilizer management techniques often overlook changing environmental conditions, including fluctuations in weather and variations in soil nutrient levels. As a result, farmers often find it difficult to identify the most suitable type and amount of fertilizers required, which can result in either excessive or insufficient nutrient application, adversely affecting crop yield and soil quality.

   A significant issue associated with fertilizer application is the leaching and runoff of nutrients, which can occur due to the overuse or improper timing of fertilizers. Unforeseen rainfall events may wash away vital nutrients like nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) before they can be utilized by plants, resulting in soil degradation and water contamination. On the other hand, insufficient fertilizer

   application can lead to nutrient shortages, which diminish crop yields and elevate production expenses. Implementing an intelligent recommendation system that takes into account weather patterns, soil characteristics, and the specific nutrient requirements of crops can help alleviate these challenges.

   The utilization of machine learning, particularly via the random forest algorithm, presents a significant method for improving fertilizer recommendations. Machine learning models can generate dependable predictions regarding nutrient requirements by analyzing historical and contemporary weather trends, rainfall statistics, and soil characteristics. These predictions enable farmers to make informed decisions regarding fertilizer application, thereby fostering efficient nutrient management and reducing environmental impacts. Integrating weather forecasts with soil-specific data into a unified system can provide precise and actionable insights for those in the agricultural sector.

   To facilitate the adoption of this approach, the proposed system is designed as a mobile application that allows farmers to input key parameters such as soil type and crop details. The application then processes the data through a machine learning model to generate real-time fertilizer recommendations. By leveraging user-friendly technology, the system ensures accessibility and ease of use for small and medium-scale farmers, promoting widespread adoption of precision agriculture techniques.

This innovative approach empowers farmers with the knowledge and tools needed to optimize fertilizer usage, ultimately improving agricultural sustainability and efficiency.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW

   1. Fertilizer Management and Soil Nutrient Optimization The effective management of fertilizers is essential for maintaining soil fertility and achieving maximum crop yields. Both overuse and underuse of fertilizers can lead to soil degradation, nutrient imbalances, and environmental pollution (Zhang et al., 2017). Conventional fertilizer application methods often rely on broad recommendations rather than taking into account specific soil conditions, which can result in inefficiencies. Research indicates that precision agriculture techniques, such as variable rate technology (VRT), can significantly enhance fertilizer application by tailoring nutrient delivery to the specific requirements of the soil (Lal, 2020).

      Recent studies have highlighted the benefits of soil testing and data-driven approaches in fertilizer management. By evaluating soil nutrient levels, farmers can apply fertilizers more accurately, reducing waste and improving plant health (Jones & Peters, 2019). The use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing technologies further enhances the precision of fertilizer application, allowing for real-time monitoring of soil conditions (Sharma & Verma, 2021). This method ensures that nutrient application is adapted to the distinct conditions of each field, thereby optimizing efficiency and fostering sustainability.

   2. Impact of Weather Conditions on Nutrient Absorption Weather conditions play a crucial role in determining how effectively crops can absorb nutrients from the soil. Heavy rainfall can cause nutrient leaching, leading to deficiencies in essential minerals, while drought conditions restrict the movement and uptake of nutrients (Smith & Jones, 2018). Studies have shown that fluctuations in temperature also influence enzymatic activities in the soil, which subsequently affect nutrient availability and plant growth (Huang et al., 2021). Therefore, integrating weather data into fertilizer application strategies is vital for optimizing nutrient uptake and minimizing losses.

      Recent developments in climate modeling and real-time weather tracking have significantly improved fertilizer management techniques. Research indicates that employing predictive analytics based on weather conditions can enhance fertilizer efficiency by fine-tuning the timing of applications (Patel & Singh, 2023). For instance, smart farming technologies that merge weather forecasts with soil nutrient data empowerfarmers to make informed decisions about fertilizer application (Kumar et al., 2022).

   3. Machine Learning in Precision Agriculture The application of machine learning (ML) techniques in agriculture has revolutionized fertilizer recommendation systems by enabling accurate predictions and informed decision- making. A range of machine learning algorithms, such as Random Forest, Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), have been successfully employed to evaluate soil fertility, crop health, and nutrient requirements (Sharma et al., 2019). These models utilize comprehensive datasets that include soil properties, climatic factors, and crop growth patterns to provide precise recommendations for fertilizer application.

      Recent studies emphasize the benefits of ensemble learning

      models in improving the accuracy of fertilizer predictions. For instance, hybrid models that integrate decision trees with deep learning methods have shown remarkable effectiveness in optimizing nutrient management (Ghosh et al., 2022). Furthermore, the integration of AI-driven decision support systems with Internet of Things (IoT) sensors facilitates real- time monitoring of soil conditions, enabling the adaptive modification of fertilizer applications based on current field data (Kumar & Gupta, 2023).

   4. Mobile-Based Agricultural Advisory Systems

      Mobile-based advisory systems have emerged as essential tools for disseminating agricultural knowledge and providing prompt assistance to farmers. These applications offer insights on pest control, irrigation strategies, and fertilizer usage, empowering farmers to make informed decisions (Rahman et al., 2020). However, many existing platforms are hindered by their lack of advanced predictive capabilities and reliance on static databases rather than leveraging real-time field data. The integration of artificial intelligence and real-time analytics into these mobile advisory systems could significantly improve their accuracy and overall effectiveness. Recent advancements in mobile technology have enabled the development of smart farming applications that incorporate IoT-enabled soil sensors and weather forecasting models (Fernando & Lee, 2022). These systems provide customized recommendations based on real-time information, thereby enhancing the decision-making processes of farmers. Studies suggest that mobile-based advisory platforms, when combined with cloud computing and big data analytics, can effectively bridge the knowledge gap and improve access to modern agricultural practices for smallholder farmers (Chen et al., 2023).

   5. Challenges and Gaps in Existing Systems

   Despite significant advancements in agricultural technology, several challenges persist in developing effective fertilizer recommendation systems. Many existing models fail to account for real-time environmental changes, leading to generalized recommendations that may not suit specific field conditions (Tan et al., 2019). Additionally, small-scale farmers often lack access to advanced soil testing tools and

   analytics platforms, limiting their ability to implement precision agriculture techniques (Yadav & Mehta, 2021). Furthermore, the integration of diverse data sourcessuch as soil properties, weather patterns, and crop healthremains a challenge, as many solutions operate in isolation without seamless interoperability (Nair et al., 2023). Addressing these gaps requires low-cost, AI-driven solutions that integrate real- time data, ensuring accessibility and efficiency in sustainable farming practices.

3. METHODOLOGY
