Artificial neural networks in the classification and identification of soybean cultivars by planting region

Twenty soybean (Glycine max) varieties, 14 conventional and 6 transgenic varieties were analyzed for protein content, phytic acid, oil content, phytosterols, ash, minerals and fatty acids. The data were tabled and presented to the multilayer perceptron neural network for classification and identification of their planting region and whether they were a conventional or transgenic. The neural network used correctly classified and tested 100% of the samples cultivated per region. For the data bank containing information on transgenic and conventional soybean, a performance of 94.43% was obtained in the training of the neural network, 83.30% in the test and 100% in the validation.
