Abstract

Soil Classification deals with the systematic categorization of soils based on distinguished characteristics as well as criteria. We developed Data Mining techniques like: GATree, Fuzzy Classification rules and Fuzzy C - Means algorithm for classifying soil texture in agriculture soil data. In this paper , we give a comparative study of developed algorithms. The s tudy is used to compare and analyze the soil data.
