Estimation of barley yield under irrigation with wastewater using RBF and GFF models of artificial neural network

In this study, barley yield has been estimated via radial basis function network (RBF) and feed-forward neural networks (GFF) models of artificial neural network (ANNs) in Torbat-Heydarieh of Iran. For this purpose, a dataset consists of 200 data at three levels of irrigation with well water, industrial wastewater (sugar factory wastewater), a combination of well water and wastewater in two levels (complete irrigation and irrigation with 75 % water stress) and soil characteristics of area were used as input parameters. To achieve this goal, based on the number of data and inputs, 200 barley field experiments data set were used, of which 80 % (160 data) was used for the training and 20 % (40 data) for the testing the network. The results showed that RBF model has high potential in estimating barley yield with Levenberg Marquardt training and 4 hidden layers. Also the values of statistical parameters R2 and RMSE were 0.81 and the 33.12, respectively. In general, the results showed that ANNs model is able to better estimate the barley yield when irrigation water level parameter with well water is selected as input.
