Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of crop disease prediction, and particularly relates to a crop bacterial wilt disease prediction method based on an integrated learning model. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a global soil-borne pathogen, bacterial wilt can cause diseases of economic crops such as tomatoes and potatoes. The long incubation period and fast transmission speed of bacterial wilt result in the lag of traditional prevention and control measures behind the outbreak of the disease. Therefore, early and accurate prediction is a key link to break the disease transmission chain and reduce the abuse of chemical pesticides.

[0003] Existing bacterial wilt disease prediction methods mainly include molecular biology detection and data-driven prediction. The molecular biology detection method generally relies on direct detection of the pathogen, and the presence of the target microorganism is identified by specific primers or antibodies. Such a method has significant limitations in complex soil environments: the detection process usually requires laboratory-level equipment and involves a tedious sample pretreatment process, making it difficult to achieve real-time monitoring in the field. At the same time, existing detection techniques lack the ability to characterize the functional state of microbial communities, and cannot effectively reflect the dynamic balance changes of soil microecosystems, resulting in a lag in disease early warning. Data-driven prediction methods mainly construct prediction models by analyzing microbiome data, and have greater flexibility and timeliness. However, existing technical solutions mostly use a single model for modeling analysis, which has insufficient model generalization ability and prediction accuracy. Some methods use model integration strategies, but generally use fixed weight fusion or simple voting mechanisms, which fail to effectively select base models with different prediction capabilities, resulting in limited performance improvement of the integrated model. In summary, current bacterial wilt disease prediction technology has the defects of lagging detection timeliness, insufficient mining of microbial functional characteristics, and inefficient model integration strategies, making it difficult to meet the agricultural practice needs of real-time and accurate early warning in the field. SUMMARY

[0042] After adopting the above technical scheme, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0043] 1. The present application improves the prediction accuracy and robustness: by integrating three high-performance gradient boosting tree models of LightGBM, CatBoost and XGBoost, and combining random forest (RF) as a meta-learner, the advantages of different base learners are effectively integrated. By selecting redundant models (threshold <0.8) through Pearson correlation coefficient, the diversity of the integrated model is ensured, the risk of overfitting is significantly reduced, and the generalization ability and prediction stability of the model in complex microbiome data are improved.

[0044] 2、The data dimension reduction and feature optimization of the application: adopt principal component analysis (PCA) to retain 95% variance data dimension reduction strategy, while reducing the computational complexity, the effective information of the original data is retained to the greatest extent. Combined with Z-score standardization and orthogonal decomposition of covariance matrix, the dimensional difference of multi-source features (such as ZOTU abundance, metabolic pathway, etc.) is eliminated, and the processing ability of the model to high-dimensional sparse data is enhanced.

[0045] 3、The automatic hyperparameter optimization of the application: through the combination strategy of grid search and 5-fold cross-validation, the optimal 3 groups of hyperparameters (such as the number of decision trees, learning rate, etc.) are selected for each base learner, and the F1 score is used as the verification index to accurately balance the accuracy and recall rate of disease prediction, avoiding the subjectivity of manual parameter adjustment.

[0046] 4、The function and bioinformatics integration of the application: based on EasyAmplicon standardization process and PICRUSt2 / FAPROTAX tools, 16S rRNA gene sequence data and microbial function prediction (metabolic pathway, element cycle, etc.) are deeply related, and multi-dimensional feature input is constructed, so that the model can capture the potential biological correlation between the occurrence of bacterial wilt and the functional changes of microbiome.

[0047] 5、The computing efficiency and scalability of the application: through stratified sampling to divide the training set / verification set (80%:20%) and parallel grid search, the hyperparameter optimization time is significantly shortened. Modular design (such as step-by-step screening base model + meta-learner integration) facilitates extension to other crop disease prediction scenarios, and only needs to adjust the input data to quickly migrate and apply.

[0048] 6、The biomarker discovery potential of the application: the feature importance ranking of the model output can be used to reverse screen ZOTUs or functional pathways that are significantly related to bacterial wilt, providing candidate biomarkers for subsequent experimental verification and assisting in disease mechanism research.
