Abstract

The ability to predict crop yields enables the timely and effective decision making for crop management, and regional agriculture system planning. The field crop corn is the largest crop in the U.S. and hence significant efforts have been devoted to predicting corn yields through various means. The present survey reviews the studies that used machine learning models and their variations to predict corn yield.
