Remote sensing and TerraClimate datasets for wheat yield prediction using machine learning by Alireza Araghi, Andre Daccache

“…The Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) values are 0.74 and 0.62, while correlation coefficients (r) are 0.93 and 0.80 for irrigated and rainfed wheat, respectively. The global coverage of the input dataset and its easy access make this approach applicable to various crop types and other regions, thus unlocking the limitation related to the lack of on-site data availability for traditional yield prediction models.…”
