Soil texture affects rice nutrient uptake and yield formation by influencing soil structure, microbial activity, and soil nutrient supply capacity. Analyzing the relationship between soil texture, nutrient content, and rice agronomic traits is of gre...

Tea plant is an acidophilic plant, and soil pH has an important effect on the absorption and enrichment of elements, tea plant growth and quality. In this study, rhizosphere soils and leaves of tea plants from 30 tea plantations were collected to det...

Mushroom cap is a key trait in the growth process and its phenotypic parameters are essential for automatic cultivation and smart breeding. However, the edible mushrooms are usually grown densely with mutual occlusion, which is difficult to obtain th...

Grazing affects plant community characteristics and the relationship between above-ground biomass and diversity, which has become a hot topic in grassland ecosystem research in recent years. The present study investigated grassland vegetation in the...

Lotus corniculatus is an important perennial legume forage species and has been widely used to study the relationships between plants and rhizobia or arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Composite plants (wild-type shoots with transgenic hairy roots) can be...

This paper proposes PestNet, a lightweight method for classifying crop pests, which improves upon MobileNet-V2 to address the high model complexity and low classification accuracy commonly found in pest classification research. Firstly, the training...

Rainfall is one of the most important water sources for rice production in China. However, its temporal and spatial variability is leading to water shortages. The present study collected a long series of historical rainfall data from research sites d...

Iron isotope compositions, along with the partial extraction of iron in its various forms, can be utilized to investigate the complex interplay of iron migration and transformation with respect to iron isotope patterns. This study investigated the ir...

To mitigate problems concerning small-sized spots on apple leaves and the difficulties associated with the accurate detection of spot targets exacerbated by the complex backgrounds of orchards, this research used alternaria leaf spots, rust, brown sp...

Underground coal mining in coal-grain overlapped areas leads to land subsidence and deformation above the goaf, damaging cultivated land. Understanding the influencing process of coal mining on cultivated land and crops is important for carrying out...
