Abstract— Predicting quantity of soil moisture would help technologies in agricultural resources, it is assumed that the
the farmers who are involved in agriculture. Recently use of pests and fertilizers, different irrigation techniques,
researchers have used various machine learning algorithms to machineries will increase over time. Along with these,
predict the quantity of soil moisture. In this study a hybrid efficient use of many non-renewable resources such as water,
method of different types of regression algorithms have been is important [3]. Recently, an automated aerial device has
employed for prediction. The proposed method first clusters been developed for water stress management system, which
the dataset using K-Means Clustering, then for each clusters is being deployed in agricultural fields. The system uses
an individual regression model is trained. The proposed spatial and temporal sensing devices to monitor water stress
method is compared with other regression models like DT

compared with the hybrid approach of that regression model.
Each regression model has been iterated for 10 times and
finally the average RMSE of the 10 iterations has been
considered. Similarly, the hybrid model of each regressor has
been iterated 10 times to obtain the average RMSE. From
Table I, it is clear that for every regression model, the hybrid
model has outperformed its base model. A graphical
representation of the comparison is shown in the Fig. 6.

CONCLUSION
The current work proposed a hybrid regression model to
predict the soil moisture quantity. The hybrid model involves
an initial phase of data clustering. An extensive analysis is
done where the proposed hybrid model frame work is
compared with the base model on which the model is
applied. The results have indicated that the hybrid model is
highly capable of improving the performance of regression
models to a greater extent in predicting soil moisture quantity
prediction.
