Key Findings
- The study by Computomics GmbH used machine learning to identify soil bacterial changes that signal drought stress
- Early detection of these changes can help farmers take timely action to reduce crop losses
- The machine learning model showed high accuracy in classifying drought-stressed soil, offering a proactive solution for managing agricultural risks
