Abstract

A photosynthetic prediction rate model is a theoretical basis for light environmental regulation, and the existing photosynthetic rate prediction models are limited by low modeling speed and prediction accuracy. Therefore, this paper analyses effects of light quality on photosynthesis rate, and proposes a method based on Radial basis function (RBF) optimized by Quantum genetic algorithm (QGA) to establish photosynthetic rate prediction model. We selected "golden embryo formula 98-1F1" cucumber seedlings as experimental material and used LI-6800 to record the photosynthetic rates under different temperatures, light intensities and light quality. Experimental data is used to train and test the proposed model. The determinant coefficient of the model between the predicted and the measured values is 0.996, the straight slope of linear fitting is 1.000, and the straight intercept of linear fitting is 0.061. Moreover, the proposed method is compared with 6 artificial intelligence algorithms. The comparison results also validate that the proposed model has the highest accuracy compared with other algorithms.
