在全球氣候急速變遷與糧食逐漸短缺的衝擊下，如何在有限的耕種面積下有效地去提升作物的質與量是當今在農業領域上一個急需解決的問題。本研究基於此相關議題來探討關於作物之最佳化種植條件，藉由某作物產銷班所提供的種植履歷資料，利用決策樹分類模型來進行作物產量與質量的分析，進而歸納出最佳化的種植法則。經由此科學化方式所歸納出的法則提供給耕種者或農作物諮詢者參考，取代過去傳統農業僅以經驗法則來傳承種植方法的模式，期望能有效地提升作物的質量與統一管理之效率性。

Due to the rapid changes in the global climate and food shortages increasingly, how to effectively improve the yield and quality of crops is an urgent problem in the field of agriculture today. Based on these situations, this thesis discusses a related issue about the optimal cultivation conditions of crops by cultivation records provided by an agriculture manufacturer and use the decision tree to analyze the yield and quality of crops, and then summarize the best of the planting rules. Through this scientific manner to generalize the planting rules can provide to the cultivators or agricultural planners references, replace the previous mode that only passed on the cultivation methods by the rules of thumb, and it is anticipated that it can effectively improve the yield and quantity of crops and enhance the efficiency of unified management.
