Abstract

Abstract:

【Objective】 This study proposed an optimized grid search method based on machine learning to solve the problem of model parameters of the photosynthetic light-response curve for drip-irrigated maize, which was often hard to determine and possesses low precision, so as to provide new ideas for photosynthetic characteristics and mechanisms of drip-irrigated maize in Ningxia. 【Method】 The experiment was conducted in 2017 and 2018 with the maize cultivar TC19, which was widely cultivated in Ningxia. Six levels of potassium application (0 (K0), 90 kg·hm ^-2 (K1), 180 kg·hm ^-2 (K2), 270 kg·hm ^-2 (K3), 360 kg·hm ^-2 (K4), 450 kg·hm ^-2 (K5)) were set, and the portable gas exchange system (Li-6400XT) was used to measure the light-response curves of maize under different potassium levels at silking stage. The grid search method based on machine learning and nonlinear regression analysis was used to revise the light response curve based on the right angle and hyperbolic correction model. The correlation coefficient (R ²), root-mean-square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE) were used to evaluate the accuracy of the model. 【Result】 The results showed that the photosynthetic parameters (Pn), transpiration rate (Tr) and stomatal conductance (Gs) of maize leaves increased first and then decreased with the increase of potassium application rate. The results of fitting evaluation indicated that the calculation results of machine learning method under K0 and K1 were better than the traditional method, in which R ² was greater than 0.991, RMSE and MAE were less than 1.487 and 1.350, respectively. The two methods have similar fitting effect under K2-K5, while R ²was greater than 0.993, RMSE and MAE was less than 0.952 and 0.860, respectively. The result of optical response characteristic parameter calculation by using the optimum fitting method (grid search method) showed that the trends of α, Pn_max, Rd, LSP and LCP were similar to their photosynthetic parameters. When the potassium application rate was 360 kg·hm ^-2 (K4), the light response characteristic parameters reached the maximum value, however, the light suppression phenomenon occurred at 450 kg·hm ^-2 (K5). 【Conclusion】 The grid search method based on machine learning could accurately fit the photo-response characteristics of drip-irrigated maize in Ningxia, and the photosynthetic performance of maize was the best when the potassium application rate was 360 kg·hm ^-2.
