Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This patent application claims the benefit and priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 202210587857.2, filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on May 26, 2022, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety as part of the present application.

FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of prediction of a severity of bacterial blight of rice, and in particular, to a method and system for predicting a severity of bacterial blight of rice based on multi-phenotypic parameters.

BACKGROUND

Rice is one of the main food crops, and disease infection is an important factor affecting rice yield. It is of great significance to discover and understand the incidence of rice diseases in time for plant protection and field management. The traditional disease incidence detection methods are mostly manual, which is affected by human subjective judgment and environmental changes, especially the detection of the incidence of rice in the field requires a lot of manpower, material resources and time. With the rapid development of modern agricultural technology, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing technology provides support for rapid monitoring of crop phenotypes in the field. The UAV is equipped with a red-green-blue (RGB) camera, a multi-spectral camera, or a hyperspectral camera to invert crop canopy information, such as chlorophyll content, water content (WC), and nitrogen content. However, the models established by different phenotypic parameters inversion are different, and the data characteristics used are also different. It is rarely reported to use the same data characteristics to invert multiple phenotypic parameters.

The bacterial blight is one of the three major diseases of rice, which seriously affects the yield and quality of rice. The bacterial blight is a bacterial disease caused by the infection of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. Oryzae (Xoo for short). The Xoo proliferates in a large number in the vascular bundle after invading through rice wounds or stomas, leading to blockage of the vascular bundle, and hindering the transportation of nutrients and water in the plant. As a result, the photosynthesis is weakened, the leaf pigment content is reduced, the leaf WC is reduced, and the leaves turn yellow and are withered. Therefore, there is a correlation between the severity of the bacterial blight of rice and the chlorophyll content and WC of rice, but little attention has been paid to this correlation at present.

The sample rice was rice under stress of the bacterial blight.

Step 400: An incidence of the bacterial blight of rice corresponding to each of the plots was determined based on a correlation relationship and the rice leaf chlorophyll content and the rice plant WC corresponding to each of the plots. The correlation relationship was a correlation relationship between the rice leaf chlorophyll content, the rice plant WC, and the incidence of the bacterial blight of rice.

Step 500: Characteristic variables of the rice spectral reflectance were screened based on a score of a VIP index of the first regression model and a score of a VIP index of the second regression model to obtain a SI.

Step 600: A correlation between the SI and the incidence of the bacterial blight of rice was calculated, and a visual distribution map of the severity of the bacterial blight of rice in the study area was generated based on the correlation between the SI and the incidence of the bacterial blight of rice.

Further, the method provided by this example further included the following steps.

A correlation between the SI and the rice leaf chlorophyll content was calculated, and a visual distribution map of the rice leaf chlorophyll content in the study area was generated based on the correlation between the SI and the rice leaf chlorophyll content.

And/or, a correlation between the SI and the rice plant WC was calculated, and a visual distribution map of the rice plant WC in the study area was generated based on the correlation between the SI and the rice plant WC.

And/or, the correlation between the SI and the rice leaf chlorophyll content was calculated, the correlation between the SI and the rice plant WC was calculated, and a visual distribution map of the multi-phenotypic parameters of the rice in the study area was generated based on the correlation between the SI and the incidence of the bacterial blight of rice, the correlation between the SI and the rice leaf chlorophyll content, and the correlation between the SI and the rice plant WC. The multi-phenotypic parameters included the incidence of the bacterial blight of rice, the rice leaf chlorophyll content, and the rice plant WC.

Further, the method provided by this example further included: constructing a sample database. The sample database included the first sample data set, the second sample data set, and a third sample data set. The third sample data set included a plurality of incidences of bacterial blight of the sample rice and a leaf chlorophyll content and a plant WC of the sample rice corresponding to each of the incidences of the bacterial blight of the sample rice.

In the process of constructing the sample database, a process of determining each element was described below.

A process of determining the spectral reflectance of sample rice was as follows.

The multi-spectral images of rice under stress of the bacterial blight in the sample area were obtained using a multi-spectral camera carried by a UAV. Image splicing and background removal were conducted on the multi-spectral images, and the spectral reflectance of the sample rice of each plot in the sample area was extracted based on the processed multi-spectral images and recorded as X.

A process of determining the leaf chlorophyll content of the sample rice was as follows.

The leaf chlorophyll content of the sample rice corresponding to each of the plots under stress of the bacterial blight in the sample area was acquired using an SPAD-502 chlorophyll meter and recorded as Y1.

An example was as follows: the leaf chlorophyll content of the sample rice was obtained using the SPAD-502 chlorophyll meter, and the SPAD value was used to replace the leaf chlorophyll content.

During the measurement, the main leaf vein shall be avoided. Each leaf was regarded as the upper, middle and lower parts from the tip to the sheath. 3 sampling points were randomly selected for each part to measure the SPAD value, and the average SPAD value of the 9 sampling points represented the SPAD value of the rice leaf.

A process of determining the plant WC of the sample rice was as follows.

The plant WC of the sample rice corresponding to each of the plots in the sample area was calculated using a wet basis WC method and recorded as Y2. The calculation formula is as follows:

$WC=\frac{FW-DW}{FW}\times 100\%$

where WC represents the plant WC of the sample rice, FW represents a fresh weight (g) of the sample rice plants, and DW represents a dry weight (g) of the sample rice plants.

A process of determining the incidence of the bacterial blight of the sample rice was as follows.

The investigation on the incidence of the bacterial blight of the sample rice corresponding to each of the plots in the sample area was conducted according to the China national standard GB/T 17980.19-2000. The three plant protection experts conducted field investigation and scored on the day of UAV flight operation, and the average score of the three experts was taken as the final disease severity score, that is, the incidence of the bacterial blight of the sample rice, which was recorded as Y3.

On this basis, the correlation relationship was further determined, that is, according to the third data sample set, the correlation between Y1, Y2, and Y3 was calculated, and the correlation relationship between the rice leaf chlorophyll content, the rice plant WC, and the incidence of the bacterial blight of the rice was obtained.

The correlation was calculated using Pearson correlation analysis, and a correlation coefficient (r) was calculated using SPSS software. r>0 was positive correlation, r<0 was negative correlation, r=0 indicated no linear relationship, |r|=1 indicated completely linear correlation, 0<|r|<=0.3 indicated extremely low correlation, 0.3<|r|<=0.5 indicated low correlation, 0.5<|r|<=0.8 indicated significant correlation, and |r|>0.8 indicated extremely high correlation.

A process of determining the first regression model was as follows.

The first regression model was determined according to a PLSR method and the first sample data set.

A process of determining the second regression model was as follows.

The second regression model was determined according to a PLSR method and the second sample data set.

As a preferred implementation, a process of calculating a rice spectral reflectance corresponding to each of the plots based on the multi-spectral images specifically included the following steps.

The multi-spectral images were pre-processed. Rice spectral reflectances were extracted from the pre-processed multi-spectral images using ENVI software, so as to determine the rice spectral reflectance corresponding to each of the plots.

This example provided a method for predicting a severity of bacterial blight of rice based on multi-phenotypic parameters, mainly including: obtaining the spectral reflectance of rice under the stress of the bacterial blight using the multi-spectral camera carried by the UAV, constructing a regression model between the spectral reflectance and the changes in the chlorophyll content and WC of rice under the stress of the bacterial blight, and selecting corresponding characteristic bands to establish an SI to evaluate the severity of bacterial blight of rice. The SI could be used to quickly indicate the field distribution of the rice leaf chlorophyll content, the rice plant WC, and the incidence of the bacterial blight of rice. Obviously, this example can realize the quick indication of various phenotypic parameters such as the rice leaf chlorophyll content, the rice plant WC, and the incidence of the bacterial blight of rice under the stress of the bacterial blight.

Example II

First, the method provided in this example was taken as an example to illustrate the feasibility of a method for predicting a severity of bacterial blight of rice based on multi-phenotypic parameters.

The experimental data or sample data of this example involved two experimental sites, namely the rice experimental base in Longyou County, Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province (29° 0′ 17″ N, 119° 10′ 46″ E) and the rice experimental base in Zhuji City, Shaoxing City (29° 37′ 22″ N, 120° 11′ 40″ E). These two sites both belonged to the subtropical monsoon climate, which was humid and rainy and suitable for rice growth, and belonged to the epidemic areas of bacterial blight, which occurred naturally without additional treatment after rice planting. There were 60 plots in the experimental area of the rice experimental base in Longyou County. Each plot was planted with one rice variety, 60 varieties in total, ranging from ASH1 to ASH60. Each plot was 10.6 m long and 4.72 m wide, and the interval between plots was 0.5 m. All the rice was cultivated in mid-May 2021, transplanted to the field manually on June 26, and harvested in mid-October. There were 13 plots in the experimental area of the rice experimental base in Zhuji City. Each plot was 60 m long and 5.5 m wide. Each plot was planted with one rice variety, namely Yongyou 31, Jiaheyou 2, Yong 1578, Zhongzheyou 8, Chunxian 7860, Yongyou 15, Jiaheyou 7245, Yongyou 7860, Yongyou 1540, Jia 67, Zhejing 100, Zhejing 165, and Huaxi 2171. The interval between plots was 0.5 m. All the rice was cultivated in mid-May 2021, transplanted to the field manually on June 13, and harvested in mid-October. All rice varieties were provided by Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and rice growth management was conducted according to local management methods. Different rice varieties had different resistance to bacterial blight, and their phenotypes in the field were also different.

As shown in FIG. 2, the method for predicting a severity of bacterial blight of rice based on changes in chlorophyll and WC provided by this example includes the following steps.

(1) UAV multi-spectral image acquisition was conducted. The multi-spectral images of the experimental base were acquired using the UAV equipped with a 25 band multi-spectral camera, with the wavelength range of 600-875 nm. The multi-spectral images of the rice experimental base in Longyou County were acquired on the 16th, 66th and 92nd days after the rice was transplanted to the field. The multi-spectral images of the rice experimental base in Zhuji City were acquired on the 30th, 68th and 106th days after the rice was transplanted to the field, involving the tillering, jointing, heading and filling stages of rice. During UAV operation, the distance between the UAV and ground was 25 m. The flight speed was 2.5 m/s, the fore-and-aft overlap rate was 60% , and the lateral overlap rate was 75%.

(2) Spectral reflectance (X) extraction was conducted. The multi-spectral images acquired by the UAV were continuous images with a small viewing angle range. The Photoscan software was used to splice these images with a small viewing angle range into the ortho-image of the whole experimental area. The threshold segmentation method was used to remove the background information, and the ENVI software was used to select the plots of interest for spectral reflectance extraction. The threshold segmentation method was based on the wavelength with the largest reflectance difference between the background and rice as the threshold. In this example, the reflectance difference was the largest at the wavelength of 675 nm.

(3) Measurement of the rice chlorophyll content (Y1) was conducted. The rice chlorophyll of each plot in the experimental area was measured using the SPAD-502 chlorophyll meter on the same day of UAV flight operation, and the SPAD value was used to replace the chlorophyll content. Three rice plants were selected randomly in each plot, and three fully expanded leaves were selected randomly for each rice plant. Each leaf was regarded as the upper, middle and lower parts from the tip to the sheath. 3 sampling points were randomly selected for each part to measure the SPAD value, the average SPAD value of the 27 sampling points represented the SPAD value of the rice plant, and the average value of the randomly selected three rice plants represented the SPAD value of the rice in the plot.

(4) Measurement of the rice WC (Y2) was conducted. On the same day of UAV flight operation, three rice plants were selected randomly in each plot in the experimental area. After wiping, the fresh weight was measured and recorded. The rice samples were put in an oven at 105° C. and fixation was conducted for 30 min. The oven was set at 70° C. for drying to constant weight. The sample was weighed, and the dry weight was recorded. The WC of the rice was calculated using a wet basis WC method. The average value of three samples in each plot represented the WC of the plot.

(5) Investigation of the severity of bacterial blight of rice in the field (Y3) was conducted. On the same day of UAV flight operation, according to the China national standard GB/T 17980.19-2000, the three plant protection experts conducted field investigation and scored the disease severity. The disease severity scores were 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 respectively. 0 meant no obvious disease, 1-5 meant the disease seventies increased in sequence, and finally the average score of the three experts was taken as the final disease severity score result.

(6) In order to establish a universal model, the data of the two experimental areas was put together for comprehensive analysis. FIG. 3A shows distribution of the SPAD values of rice under different disease seventies, and FIG. 3B shows distribution of the WCs of rice under different disease seventies. Due to the large area of each plot in the experimental area, in order to ensure the reliability of the results, when the spectral data was extracted, each plot in the experimental area of the rice experimental base in Longyou County was divided into two sub plots on average, and each plot in the experimental area of the rice experimental base in Zhuji City was divided into five sub plots on average, so there were 555 samples in total. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted on the SPAD, the WC, and the disease severity of rice. The results are shown in FIG. 4. The disease severity of rice was negatively correlated with the SPAD and the WC of rice, and the correlation coefficients were −0.83 and −0.77 respectively. *p<0.05 indicated that the correlation was significant at 0.05, showing a significant correlation. After one-to-one correspondence of the obtained X, Y1, Y2, and Y3, a modeling set and a prediction set were formed by random selection at a ratio of 8:2. This step also determined the correlation relationship among the rice leaf chlorophyll content, the rice plant WC, and the incidence of the bacterial blight of rice, and the correlation relationship was used in the subsequent practical operation process to determine the incidence of the bacterial blight of rice according to the rice leaf chlorophyll content and the rice plant WC.

(7) With X in the modeling set as the input and Y1 and Y2 as the output, a PLSR model of the chlorophyll, WC, and spectral reflectance of rice under the stress of the bacterial blight was established, and the corresponding prediction data of the samples in the modeling set were obtained. X in the prediction set was substituted into the model to obtain the prediction data corresponding to the samples in the prediction set. It was feasible to predict SPAD and WC under the stress of the bacterial blight of rice using multi-spectral data for PLSR model result phenotype. For the prediction set of the SPAD, R² is 0.67, and the root mean square error (RMSE) is 5.36, as shown in FIG. 5A. For the prediction set of the WC, R² is 0.72, and the RMSE is 0.05, as shown in FIG. 5B. The PLSR model in this step was used in the subsequent practical operation process to obtain the rice leaf chlorophyll content and the rice plant WC only according to the spectral reflectance.

(8) The VIP scores of the PLSR model of the SPAD and the WC of the rice were calculated respectively. The results are shown in FIG. 6. Those with VIP values greater than 1 were regarded as important variables. The spectral data were used to predict the SPAD and the WC of rice respectively. The results indicated that 658 nm, 675 nm and 698 nm were important wavelengths. Based on these three wavelengths, a new SI was established according to whether there was a correlation with the disease severity.

The reflectances of all samples at 658 nm, 675 nm, and 698 nm increased with the disease severity. To reflect the difference between disease seventies, R658+R698 and R658+R675 were calculated respectively, and were added together. Finally, the SI calculation formula was as follows:

SI=2*R658+R675+R698,

where R658, R675, and R698 represented the corresponding spectral reflectances at the wavelengths of 658 nm, 675 nm and 698 nm respectively.

There is a positive correlation between the SI and the disease severity, as shown in FIG. 7, and the correlation coefficient was 0.762, which proved that the SI for evaluation of the severity of bacterial blight of rice established based on the SPAD and WC change of rice was effective. With 0.1 as the threshold, healthy rice and susceptible rice could be quickly distinguished. If SI<=0.1, it was considered as healthy rice without disease, and if SI>0.1, it was considered as susceptible rice. In addition, the correlation between the SI and the rice SPAD as well as the WC is shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, showing a negative correlation and significant correlation. Based on the SI of the corresponding disease severity, the corresponding situation of SPAD and WC could be known.

(9) Based on the established SI, the visual analysis of disease severity of rice in the field could be realized, and the SPAD and WC in the field could also be reflected. The visual distribution results are shown in FIG. 10. Due to limited space, only the second flight image of the experimental area in the rice experimental base in Longyou County was selected for display.
