Application of Artificial Intelligence in Agricultural Production
in Azerbaijan
Abstract
This study examines the possibilities of applying artificial intelligence technologies in the production of agricultural products in Azerbaijan and their impact on productivity. Climate variability, suboptimal use of land and water resources, and high risk factors in agricultural production reduce the effectiveness of management mechanisms. Therefore, the potential for applying artificial intelligence-based models in the production of agricultural products should be assessed.
A mixed methodological approach was applied in the study. An empirical method was applied based on official statistical data, meteorological indicators, and farm figures in the agricultural sector. Productivity was predicted using regression and classification algorithms and the results obtained were analyzed in a comparative manner with traditional statistical methods. The main highlight of the model is the assessment of accuracy, relative error, and justified criteria.
The scientific novelty of the study is the adaptation of artificial intelligence-based forecasting models to the agro-ecological environment in Azerbaijan and the quantitative substantiation of their impact on productivity. The results show that the use of artificial intelligence-based algorithms significantly increases the accuracy of productivity forecast indicators, creates conditions for optimizing the use of fertilizer and water resources, and minimizes risks in crop production. The article creates a methodological basis for shaping digital decision-making capabilities in the agricultural sector. It can also be considered an important academic contribution to further improving agricultural activities, both theoretically and practically.
