Abstract

This study proposes a deep learning-based method for monitoring the growth of Botrytis cinerea and evaluating the effectiveness of control measures. It aims to address the limitations of traditional statistical analysis methods in capturing non-linear relationships and multi-factor synergistic effects. The method integrates colony growth environment data and images as network inputs, achieving real-time prediction of colony area through an improved RepVGG network. The innovations include (1) combining channel attention mechanism, multi-head self-attention mechanism, and multi-scale feature extractor to improve prediction accuracy and (2) introducing the Shapley value algorithm to achieve a precise quantitative analysis of environmental variables’ contribution to colony growth. Experimental results show that the validation loss of this method reaches 0.007, with a mean absolute error of 0.0148, outperforming other comparative models. This study enriches the theory of gray mold control and provides information technology for optimizing and selecting its inhibitors.
