Spatial Interpolation of Soil Nutrients Based on BP Neural Network

With Zengcheng City, Guangdong Province, as the object of study, 200 soil sampling points were col ected for the spatial interpolation prediction of soil properties by using Kriging method and BP neural network method. After comparing the interpolation results with the measured values, the root mean square error of the prediction data was obtained. The results showed that the interpolation accuracy of BP neural network was higher than that of Kriging method under the same cir-cumstances, and there was no smoothness in using BP neural network method when there were few sample points. In addition, with no requirement on the distri-bution of sample data, BP neural network method had stronger generalization ability than traditional interpolation method, which was an alternative interpolation method.
