Water deficit is a significant abiotic stress affecting crop growth and production. While many studies have indicated that salicylic acid (SA) plays a crucial role in mitigating the detrimental effects of environmental stress on plants, its mechanism...

The effective exploration and utilization of brackish water resources are crucial to alleviating the scarcity of freshwater in arid regions. This study focused on protected tomato plants and set up four irrigation salinity levels: T1 (2 g·L&mi...

Going beyond previous work, this paper presents a systematic literature review that explores the deployment of satellites, drones, and ground-based sensors for yield prediction in agriculture. It covers multiple aspects of the topic, including crop t...

Biochar is a potential solution for addressing environmental problems related to excessive nitrogen (N). However, there is still some debate about the absorption and desorption of nitrate nitrogen (NO3−-N). Therefore, this study investigated th...

Similar to many other plant-based products, strawberries are susceptible to fungal diseases caused by various pathogen groups. In recent years, efforts have been made to combat these diseases using biological control methods, particularly the applica...

M. bourgaei Baker is an endemic plant that grows in Türkiye. It has the potential to be an ornamental plant, so it is important to know its germination characteristics and seed morphological characteristics. We evaluated the effects of moist chi...

Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum (FON), is a predominant and devastating soil-borne disease that results in significant yield losses in watermelon cultivation. In this study, a strain MM isolated from the herbage rhizosphere...

Phosphorus (P) leaching from excessive P application is the primary pathway of P losses in agricultural soils. Different P fertilizer practices have mixed effects on P leaching. We conducted a meta-analysis of the relevant literature regarding the re...

The automated harvesting of clustered fruits relies on fast and accurate visual perception. However, the obscured stem diameters via leaf occlusion lack any discernible texture patterns. Nevertheless, our human visual system can often judge the posit...

Atriplex canescens is widely cultivated as drought and salt-tolerant fodder in arid regions of Northwest China, which is used for photoremediation of degraded land and soil and water conservation. To explore the growth performance of A. canescens whe...
