Abstract
Soil electrical conductivity is one of the indispens- able and important parameters in fine agriculture management, and a suitable soil electrical conductivity can promote good plant growth. Prediction model of soil electrical conductivity is con- structed to effectively obtain the conductivity values of soil, which can provide a reference basis for irrigation and fertilization man- agement and prediction evaluation in fine agriculture. Prediction model of soil electrical conductivity based on extreme learning machine (ELM) optimized by bald eagle search (BES) algorithm is proposed in this paper. In the prediction model, the input weights and bias values of the ELM network were optimized using the BES algorithm, and the performance of the model was evaluated with parameters such as mean square error (MSE), coefficient of de- termination (R 2 ). Also, the correlations of parameters such as soil temperature, moisture content, pH, and water potential in the soil conductivity prediction model were determined using the explor- atory data analysis (EDA) and HeatMap heat map tools. Finally, the proposed model was compared with back propagation neural network (BP), radial basis function networks (RBF), support vec- tor machine (SVM), gated recurrent neural network (GRNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), particle swarm algorithm (PSO) op- timization ELM, genetic algorithm (GA) optimized ELM predic- tion model. The experimental results showed that MSE, R 2 of the proposed model are 4.09 and 0.941, which are better than the other models. Also the results verified the effectiveness of the proposed method, which is a feasible prediction method to guide the irriga- tion and fertilization management in fine agriculture, because of its good prediction effect on soil conductivity.
