- 无需预设状态或分步训练,可直接部署于千万级真实场景。
优化氮肥与灌溉管理对作物产量、经济收益及环境影响重大。本文提出可部署的作物管理框架CROPS,利用语言模型(LM)作为强化学习(RL)智能体,在DSSAT作物模拟系统中探索最优管理策略。其核心在于决策状态通过随机掩码实现部分观测,促使智能体同时完成策略优化与被遮蔽状态推断,显著提升在多变农业场景下的鲁棒性与适应性。在美佛罗里达州与西班牙萨拉戈萨的玉米实验中,CROPS在产量、利润与可持续性等多指标上均达到当前最优(SOTA)表现,且训练出的管理策略可立即应用于超过千万种现实情境。此外,预训练策略具备抗噪声能力,能有效缓解传感器偏差,保障泛化性能。相比以往方法,CROPS结构统一简洁,无需预定义状态或分阶段训练,展现出变革农业实践的巨大潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Exploring the optimal management strategy for nitrogen and irrigation has a significant impact on crop yield, economic profit, and the environment. To tackle this optimization challenge, this paper introduces a deployable \textbf{CR}op Management system \textbf{O}ver all \textbf{P}ossible \textbf{S}tate availabilities (CROPS). CROPS employs a language model (LM) as a reinforcement learning (RL) agent to explore optimal management strategies within the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) crop simulations. A distinguishing feature of this system is that the states used for decision-making are partially observed through random masking. Consequently, the RL agent is tasked with two primary objectives: optimizing management policies and inferring masked states. This approach significantly enhances the RL agent's robustness and adaptability across various real-world agricultural scenarios. Extensive experiments on maize crops in Florida, USA, and Zaragoza, Spain, validate the effectiveness of CROPS. Not only did CROPS achieve State-of-the-Art (SOTA) results across various evaluation metrics such as production, profit, and sustainability, but the trained management policies are also immediately deployable in over of ten millions of real-world contexts. Furthermore, the pre-trained policies possess a noise resilience property, which enables them to minimize potential sensor biases, ensuring robustness and generalizability. Finally, unlike previous methods, the strength of CROPS lies in its unified and elegant structure, which eliminates the need for pre-defined states or multi-stage training. These advancements highlight the potential of CROPS in revolutionizing agricultural practices.
