Abstract:During the whole growth cycle of rice, insufficient supply of core essential elements, including nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium easily triggers typical abnormal physiological phenomena, such as leaf chlorosis, slow tillering and overall plant stunting, which not only deteriorate rice appearance quality and nutritional quality, but also cause substantial reduction in actual grain yield and restrict stable agricultural production.Aiming at the problems that traditional convolutional neural networks lacked sufficient generalization ability in identifying nutrient deficiency categories, and novel architectures such as EfficientNetV2 were biased toward global modeling and thus had insufficient feature extraction capability for local lesion areas, an intelligent identification model named SCBAM-BiGRU-ResNet50 was constructed by integrating convolutional structure, recurrent neural network and optimized attention mechanism.The proposed method embeded improved style-based convolutional block attention module into ResNet50 backbone network to strengthen local feature mining and guided the model to concentrate on distinguishable deficiency-related leaf traits.Simultaneously, the integration of bidirectional gated recurrent units (BiGRU) leveraged bidirectional temporal learning to further improve feature extraction.Experimental results demonstrated that SCBAM-BiGRU-ResNet50 achieved superior performance with the accuracy index of 96.97% in rice nutrient deficiency classification tasks, significantly outperforming benchmark models in accuracy (p<0.0001) while maintaining low variability.This hybrid network structure effectively boosted local feature sensitivity and deepened contextual feature correlation learning.The research result can provide an efficient, accurate and stable technical reference and innovative intelligent diagnosis scheme for rapid and precise identification of rice nutrient deficiency in modern precision agriculture.
