Agriculture Dataset | Karnataka

Data Description

The dataset you've provided appears to capture agricultural data for Karnataka, specifically focusing on crop yields in Mangalore. Key features include the year of production, geographic details, and environmental conditions such as rainfall (measured in mm), temperature (in degrees Celsius), and humidity (as a percentage). Soil type, irrigation method, and crop type are also recorded, along with crop yields, market price, and season of growth (e.g., Kharif).

The dataset includes several columns related to crop production conditions and outcomes. For example, coconut crop data reveals a pattern of yields over different area sizes, showing how factors like rainfall, temperature, and irrigation influence production. Prices also vary, offering insights into the economic aspects of agriculture in the region. This information could be used to study the impact of environmental conditions and farming techniques on crop productivity, assisting in the development of optimized agricultural practices tailored for specific soil types, climates, and crop needs.
