Abstract

Abstract:

Grape downy mildew is one of the major diseases on grapes， which can occur from seedling to fruit maturity， often causing destructive losses in rainy years. To accurately predict the occurrence of grape downy mildew and minimize the hazards of grape downy mildew， based on the agrometeorological data and disease occurrence data during grape growth in 2020， a prediction model for the occurrence of grape downy mildew was developed by 4 machine learning algorithms （binary logistic regression， support vector machine， decision tree and K-nearest neighbors）， and the models were verified using the data in 2021. The results showed that the decision tree model had the best evaluation indicators in the disease prediction model， which the accuracy was 94%， and the precision， recall and F₁-score was 91%， 90% and 91%， respectively. The decision tree model’s performance was still better than the other models using validation data. Therefore， the decision tree model could be further used to develop early warning systems for grape downy mildew， which should provide technical support and decision-making guidance for controlling it in production.

摘要：

葡萄霜霉病是葡萄上的主要病害之一，该病从葡萄苗期到果实成熟期都可发生，多雨年份常造成毁灭性损失。为了准确预测葡萄霜霉病的发生，最大限度地降低霜霉病对葡萄的危害，基于2020年葡萄生长期间气象数据和病害发生数据，结合4种机器学习算法（二项逻辑斯蒂、支持向量机、决策树、K最近邻）构建了葡萄霜霉病发生预测模型，并用2021年数据进行验证。结果表明，决策树模型在病害发生预测模型构建中的评价指标最优，其准确率达94%，预测发生的精准率、召回率、F₁分值分别为91%、90%、91%。经验证，决策树模型对葡萄霜霉病发生的预测精度及性能均优于其他3个模型。因此，可利用此模型进一步开发葡萄霜霉病预警系统，为生产上葡萄霜霉病的防治提供技术支持和决策指导。
