Developing a robust yield prediction model for potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) using multi-faceted and multi-year data by Alfadhl Y. Alkhaled, Yi Wang

“…Our findings revealed that: 1) the top 45 (approximately ⁓ 10 % of total bands: coefficient of determination: R2 = 0.575) bands generated from feature selection of RF could result in similar yield prediction accuracy as when using all 474 narrow-bands from the hyperspectral images, and these selected spectral signatures were distributed across the visible (VIS), near-infrared (NIR), and short-wave infrared (SWIR) regions; 2) for plants under the higher N rate, lower reflectance in the VIS region (due to more chlorophyll accumulation), higher reflectance in the NIR region (due to more dense plant canopy), and lower reflectance in the SWIR (due to higher water content) were observed; 3) The model that included multi-faceted inputs, suggesting the G × E × M × T interactions, produced highly satisfying performance (R² = 0.716) in comparison to the models that incorporated less inputs (using single input). …”
