Abstract:

In order to explore the applicability of predicting crop growth period based on the principle of BP neural network, a simulation study was carried out by using the conventional meteorological observation data and crop growth period observation data of one-season rice in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The results showed that the effective accumulated temperature model considering temperature had a good correlation between the simulated and observed values in each phenological period with correlation coefficient (r) higher than 0.75. It was feasible to use effective accumulated temperature to simulate the crop development stage, but the mean absolute error (MAE) of simulation was large, as the MAE was more than 5 days in transplanting, jointing and maturity stages. Based on the effective accumulated temperature model, precipitation, relative humidity and sunshine duration were introduced to construct temperature (T) model, temperature-precipitation (T-P) model, temperature-relative humidity (T-RH) model and temperature-sunshine duration (T-S) model. After training by BP neural network, the evaluation indices of simulation in different crop growth periods of the four models were improved, and T-RH model exhibited the best effect. After optimization of the parameters of middle layer and training times of the T-RH model by BP neural network, the root mean square error in simulation for each growth stage was 0.3-1.2 d, the MAE was less than 1 d, and the r value was higher than 0.96 (P<0.01).
