Abstract

An approach to automating the selection of the cheapest set of fertilizers which application supplies needed amount of nutrients calculated using balance method according to nutrients removal from the soil done by the plants has been proposed. The approach has been implemented as a module of decision-support system   in crop farming, which can advise farmers online
