- Develop a soil–root–shoot uptake and transport model.
- Prepare experimental agricultural datasets for AI-based analysis.
- Build machine-learning models for predicting crop growth, stress response, nutrient uptake, and yield.
- Evaluate model performance using standard regression and classification metrics.
- Interpret AI predictions using feature importance and SHAP analysis.
- Perform sensitivity and uncertainty analysis.
- Predict phytotoxicity and environmental risk.
- Optimize bionanomaterial dose by balancing crop benefit, safety, and application efficiency.
- Understand laboratory-to-greenhouse and field-scale model validation.
