Abstract
In order to make a contribution to the early generation selections in potato varieties through a classification, the MLPNN and SVM data mining methods were applied to the data set created by considering the selection criteria based on the macroscopic observations and measurements, performed to identify clones that are ineligible and to be eliminated through negative selection from the clones developed in line with the potato variety breeding program, initiated by hybrid combinations in this study. Data set used in the study consists of clones in a study conducted in 2016 as part of the project no. TUBITAK-TOVAG 113O928. A total of 703 potato clones from 12 hybrid combinations were used in the study. In order to identify the clones to be selected, two different models were created by using three attributes (tuber yield, number of tubers and average tuber weight) for each clone, and two different models were created by using two attributes (eyes depth and eyes pit depth) of each clone in order to identify the clones to be eliminated.
Highlights
Today, intelligent machines and production systems that control machines have begun to take over traditional production methods
This study aims to contribute to early generation selection by using data mining methods and taking into consideration the selection criteria based on macroscopic observation and measurements, from the clones in a variation set created through crossing studies for the development of native potato varieties
In the experiments for the classification of selected potato clones performed for Model-2, 72 out of 696 clones were selected in class 3, 34 were as class 2, 31 as class, and 559 were in the other class
Summary
Intelligent machines and production systems that control machines have begun to take over traditional production methods. Automation, control and information technology use during the development period of agricultural production, the data mining methods are an important research area for agricultural science and a promising tool for problems in the agricultural sector that need solutions and improvement [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]. The potato is one of the plants that spread naturally in the Andes of Peru [13]. It has been brought through Russia and the Caucasus to Turkey, and it has been cultivated in the highland climate of eastern Black Sea region and Erzurum region for the first time in Turkey [14].
