Artificial neural network and their implementation in agricultural science and practice

Abstract

The monograph is dedicated to the overview of the core and peculiarities of practical use in agricultural science of the newest data processing tool - artificial neural networks. The issue necessary systematized information about the essential properties, methodology, key features of artificial neural networks, provides the reader with information about historical path and incipience of the computation technique, its main advantages, drawbacks, and pitfalls, further prospects of development and implementation in different branches of agricultural science and practice. A special attention is paid to the practical usage of artificial neural networks within various computer software applications for solving the task of different compacity and difficulty level related to agricultural science. The publications is targeted on the wide range of specialists in the field of agriculture including scientists, students, and agricultural producers.
