Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive approach to predicting seed germination quality through machine learning, addressing a critical challenge in agricultural productivity. We outline a detailed workflow that begins with robust data collection and preprocessing, incorporating environmental, genetic, and physical seed traits to form a feature-rich dataset. Through rigorous feature engineering, the most influential factors affecting germination quality are identified and utilized in model development. The study employs a machine learning framework without specifying a particular algorithm, focusing on methodologies suited for tabular data common in agricultural studies. Feature selection is executed using techniques that effectively reduce dimensionality while preserving predictive power. The predictive model is validated using a cross-validation approach to ensure reliability and generalizability across diverse agricultural environments. Our results indicate that the proposed predictive modeling approach significantly enhances the accuracy of germination quality predictions compared to traditional methods. By leveraging advanced machine learning techniques, this study provides valuable insights into the factors influencing seed germination and offers a scalable model for agricultural stakeholders aiming to improve crop outcomes through data-driven decisions. The implications of this research extend beyond immediate agricultural applications, suggesting a framework for similar challenges in other domains where prediction of biological qualities is vital.
