Application of Data Mining Techniques to Olea Europaea var. Media Oblonga Production from Thassos Island

A huge amount of data is produced in our days in the agriculture sector. Due to the huge amount of this datasets it is necessary to use data mining techniques in order to comprehend the data and extract useful information. In our work we apply three different data mining techniques to data about Olea europaea var. media oblonga from the island of Thassos, at the northern part of Greece. The data were from 1063 farmers from three different municipalities of Thassos, namely Kallirachi, Limenaria and Prinos and concerned 2010. They were analysed using the classification algorithm OneR, the clustering algorithm k-means and the association rule mining algorithm, Apriori from the WEKA data mining package. The results indicate that organic cultivation could improve the production of olives and olive oil.
